Make umass return an error code if SCSI sense retrieval request

interrupt counts and names, by making the names into an array of fixed-length
strings that can be directly indexed. This eliminates extra memory accesses
on every interrupt to increment the counts.
As a side effect, it also fixes a bug that would corrupt the names data
if a name was longer than MAXCOMLEN, which led to incorrect vmstat -i output.

Please note that by enabling this option (default is disabled), the system
could potentionally have silent data corruption if the server crashes
before write is committed to non-volatile storage, as the client side have
no way to tell if the data is already written.

two upcoming features:
semi-transparent mode:
when a device is opened in this mode, the
user program will be able to mark slots that must be forwarded
to the "other" side (i.e. from NIC to host stack, or viceversa),
and the forwarding will occur automatically at the next netmap syscall.
This saves the need to open another file descriptor and do
the forwarding manually.
direct-forwarding mode:
when operating with a VALE port, the user can specify in the slot
the actual destination port, overriding the forwarding decision
made by a lookup of the destination MAC. This can be useful to
implement packet dispatchers.
No API changes will be introduced.
No new functionality in this patch yet.
CPUs exhibit bad behavior if this is done (Intel Errata AAJ3, hangs on
Pentium-M, and trashing of the local APIC registers on a VIA C7). The
local APIC is implicitly mapped UC already via MTRRs, so the clflush isn't
necessary anyway.

tunable_mbinit() where it is next to where it is used later.
Change the sysinit level of tunable_mbinit() from SI_SUB_TUNABLES
to SI_SUB_KMEM after the VM is running. This allows to use better
methods to determine the effectively available physical and virtual
memory available to the kernel.
Update comments.
In a second step it can be merged into mbuf_init().
a process has an auditid/preselection masks specified, and
is jailed, include the zonename (jailname) token as a

chip hangs.
* Always do a reset in ath_bmiss_proc(), regardless of whether the
hardware is "hung" or not. Specifically, for spectral scan, there's
likely a whole bunch of potential hangs that we don't (yet) recognise
in the HAL. So to avoid staying RX deaf persisting until the station
disassociates, just do a no-loss reset.
* Set sc_beacons=1 in STA mode. During a reset, the beacon programming
isn't done. (It's likely I need to set sc_syncbeacons during a hang
reset, but I digress.) Thus after a reset, there's no beacon timer
programming to send a BMISS interrupt if beacons aren't heard ..
thus if the AP disappears, you won't get notified and you'll have to
reset your interface.
This hasn't yet fixed all of the hangs that I've seen when debugging
spectral scan, but it's certainly reduced the hang frequency and it
should improve general STA stability in very noisy environments.
Tested:

when an interface is going down.
Right now it's quite possible (but very unlikely!) that ath_reset()
or similar is called, leading to a beacon config call, in parallel with
the last VAP being destroyed.
This likely should be fixed by making sure the bmiss/bstuck/watchdog
taskqueues are canceled whenever the last VAP is destroyed.

non-functional for the nullfs, other standard options like nosuid or
noexec are useful with it.

When maxusers was unrestricted and maxfiles was allowed to autotune
much higher the result was that ncallout which was based on maxfiles
and maxproc grew much higher than was needed.
To fix this clip autotuning to the same number we would get with
the old maxusers algorithm which would stop scaling at 384
maxusers.
Growing ncalout higher is not likely to be needed since most consumers
of timeout(9) are gone and any higher value for ncallout causes the
callwheel hashes to be much larger than will even be needed for
most applications.

if_start().
This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which
solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4).
It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't
fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this.
This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily
because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue
along processing.
This involves a few rather deep changes:
* Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be
able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting
fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is
joining the fragments together)
* if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to
a driver TX staging queue.
* TX is now moved into a taskqueue function.
* The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames.
* Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes
the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through
to the driver if_transmit().
* For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly
from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement
it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods.
What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general):
* I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the
actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack.
* I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is
created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need
to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same
behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..)
* I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that
ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock.
When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and
when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and
call ieee80211_node_free() on each.
* It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire
TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour.
But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code
to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside
of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects.
* the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has
sequencing problems with parallel, overlapping calls to the
data path. I'll fix this later.
