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.

- 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.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

swap_pager.c and related commits.
Essentially swap_pager.c is backed out to before the changes, but
swapdev_vp is converted into a real vnode with just VOP_STRATEGY().
It no longer abuses specfs vnops and no longer needs a dev_t and
/dev/drum (or /dev/swapdev) for the intermediate layer.
This essentially restores the vnode interface as the interface to the
bottom of the swap pager, and vm_swap.c provides a clean vnode interface.
This will need to be revisited when we swap to files (vnodes) - which
is the other reason for keeping the vnode interface between the swap pager
and the swap devices.

multiplexed underlying swap devices (/dev/drum). The only thing it did
was to allow root to open /dev/drum, but not do anything with it.
Various utilities used to grovel around in here, but Matt has written
a much nicer (and clean) front-end to this for libkvm, and nothing uses
the old system any more.
The VM system was calling VOP_STRATEGY() on the vp of the first underlying
swap device (not the /dev/drum one, the first real device), and using
the VOP system to indirectly (and only) call swstrategy() to choose
an underlying device and enqueue it on that device. I have changed it
to avoid diverting through the VOP system and to call the only possible
target directly, saving a little bit of time and some complexity.
In all, nothing much changes, except some scaffolding to support the
roundabout way of calling swstrategy() is gone.
Matt gave me the ok to do this some time ago, and I apologize for taking
so long to get around to it.

creation of /dev/drum via calling swapon. However, the make_dev has a
bogus (insofar that it hasn't been added yet) cdevsw, so later we end
up crashing with a null pointer dereference on the swap vp's specinfo.
The specinfo points to a dev_t with a major of 254 (uninitialized), and
we get a crash on its d_strategy being called.
The simple solution to this is to call cdevsw_add before the make_dev
is ever used. This fixes the panic which occurred upon swapping.
