implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

Tested on: i386 (4 cpu box with a kernel module that used 4 threads

each turnstile. Also, allow for the owner thread pointer of a turnstile
to be NULL. This is needed for the upcoming reader/writer lock
implementation.
- Add a new ddb command 'show turnstile' that will look up the turnstile
associated with the given lock argument and display useful information
like the list of threads blocked on each queue, etc. If there isn't an
active turnstile for a lock at the specified address, then the function
will see if there is an active turnstile at the specified address and
display info about it if so.
- Adjust the mutex code to handle the turnstile API changes.

If it finds one it will display information such as the list of threads
sleeping on that queue. If it can't find a sleep queue for that wait
channel, then it will see if that address matches any of the active
sleep queues. If so, it will display information about the sleepq at the
specified address.
sysctl then it will clear the KTR buffer. Note that if you have active
KTR traces at the same time as a clear operation the behavior is undefined,
though it shouldn't panic.
It should play nicely with the existing BSD ptys.
By default, the system will use the BSD ptys, one can set the sysctl
kern.pts.enable to 1 to make it use the new pts system.
The max number of pty that can be allocated on a system can be changed with the
sysctl kern.pts.max. It defaults to 1000, and can be increased, but it is not
recommanded, as any pty with a number > 999 won't be handled by whatever uses

modified bit emulation traps on Alpha while holding locks in the
sysctl handler.
A better solution would be to pass a hint to the Alpha pmap code to
tell mark these pages as modified when they as they are being wired,
but that appears to be more difficult to implement.

- Retire KTR_WITNESS and instead have KTR_WITNESS default to off but use
KTR_SUBSYS if it is enabled.

Note that it would be nice to have notification of suspend, but it's more
difficult since there would have to be a method of doing request/ack
to userland and automatically timing out if no response. apm(4) has a
similar mechanism.

An executable contains at most one PT_INTERP program header. Therefore,
the loop that searches for it can terminate after it is found rather than
iterating over the entire set of program headers.

prototypes, as the majority of new functions added have been in this
style. Changing prototype style now results in gcc noticing that the
implementation of vn_pollrecord() has a 'short' argument instead of
'int' as prototyped in vnode.h, so correct that definition. In practice
this didn't matter as only poll flags in the lower 16 bits are used.

devclass's parent pointer if the two drivers share the same devclass. This
can happen if the drivers use the same new-bus name. For example, we
currently have 3 drivers that use the name "pci": the generic PCI bus
driver, the ACPI PCI bus driver, and the OpenFirmware PCI bus driver. If
the ACPI PCI bus driver was defined as a subclass of the generic PCI bus
driver, then without this check the "pci" devclass would point to itself
as its parent and device_probe_child() would spin forever when it
encountered the first PCI device that did have a matching driver.
