SPECFS will DROP_GIANT() ... PICKUP_GIANT() around calls to the
driver in question.
Notice that the interrupt path is not affected by this!
This does _NOT_ work for drivers accessed through cdevsw->d_strategy()
ie drivers for disk(-like), some tapes, maybe others.

This is mainly so that they can be variable even for the native abi, based

This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on
machines that support it.
wasn't doing. Rather than just lock and unlock the vnode around the call
to VOP_FSYNC(), implement rwatson's suggestion to lock the file vnode
in kern_link() before calling VOP_LINK(), since the other filesystems
also locked the file vnode right away in their link methods. Remove the
locking and and unlocking from the leaf filesystem link methods.

v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

accept an 'active_cred' argument reflecting the credential of the thread
initiating the ioctl operation.
- Change fo_ioctl() to accept active_cred; change consumers of the
fo_ioctl() interface to generally pass active_cred from td->td_ucred.
- In fifofs, initialize filetmp.f_cred to ap->a_cred so that the
invocations of soo_ioctl() are provided access to the calling f_cred.
Pass ap->a_td->td_ucred as the active_cred, but note that this is
required because we don't yet distinguish file_cred and active_cred
in invoking VOP's.
- Update kqueue_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update pipe_ioctl() for its new argument, pass active_cred rather
than td_ucred to MAC for authorization.
- Update soo_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update vn_ioctl() for its new argument, use active_cred rather than
td->td_ucred to authorize VOP_IOCTL() and the associated VOP_GETATTR().

fo_read() and fo_write(): explicitly use the cred argument to fo_poll()
as "active_cred" using the passed file descriptor's f_cred reference
to provide access to the file credential. Add an active_cred
argument to fo_stat() so that implementers have access to the active
credential as well as the file credential. Generally modify callers
of fo_stat() to pass in td->td_ucred rather than fp->f_cred, which
was redundantly provided via the fp argument. This set of modifications
also permits threads to perform these operations on behalf of another
thread without modifying their credential.
Trickle this change down into fo_stat/poll() implementations:
- badfo_poll(), badfo_stat(): modify/add arguments.
- kqueue_poll(), kqueue_stat(): modify arguments.
- pipe_poll(), pipe_stat(): modify/add arguments, pass active_cred to
MAC checks rather than td->td_ucred.
- soo_poll(), soo_stat(): modify/add arguments, pass fp->f_cred rather
than cred to pru_sopoll() to maintain current semantics.
- sopoll(): moidfy arguments.
- vn_poll(), vn_statfile(): modify/add arguments, pass new arguments
to vn_stat(). Pass active_cred to MAC and fp->f_cred to VOP_POLL()
to maintian current semantics.
- vn_close(): rename cred to file_cred to reflect reality while I'm here.
- vn_stat(): Add active_cred and file_cred arguments to vn_stat()
and consumers so that this distinction is maintained at the VFS
as well as 'struct file' layer. Pass active_cred instead of
td->td_ucred to MAC and to VOP_GETATTR() to maintain current semantics.
- fifofs: modify the creation of a "filetemp" so that the file
credential is properly initialized and can be used in the socket
code if desired. Pass ap->a_td->td_ucred as the active
credential to soo_poll(). If we teach the vnop interface about
the distinction between file and active credentials, we would use
the active credential here.
Note that current inconsistent passing of active_cred vs. file_cred to
VOP's is maintained. It's not clear why GETATTR would be authorized
using active_cred while POLL would be authorized using file_cred at
the file system level.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.
