Removed dead code that assumed that M_TRYWAIT can return NULL; it's not true
since the advent of MBUMA.

There are ongoing disputes as to whether we want to switch to directly using
UMA flags M_WAITOK/M_NOWAIT for mbuf(9) allocation.
The code seems pretty MPSAFE and Giant is held over kproc_exit() which
at lowel calls exit1(). exit1() requires Giant to be unowned so this
opens a window for races.

Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.
I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.

attacks and is required to connect to Windows 2003 servers in their
default configuration. This adds an extra field to the SMB header
containing the truncated 64-bit MD5 digest of a key (a function of the
user's password and the server's authentication challenge), an implicit
sequence number, and the message data itself. As signing each message
imposes a significant performance penalty, we only enable it if the
server will not let us connect without it; this should eventually become
an option to mount_smbfs.
goto and abstracted by the itry, ithrow and icatch macros (among
others). The problem with this code is that it doesn't compile on
ia64. The compiler is sufficiently confused that it inserts a call
to __ia64_save_stack_nonlock(). This is a magic function that saves
enough of the stack to allow for non-local gotos, such as would be
the case for nested functions. Since it's not a compiler defined
function, it needs a runtime implementation. This we have not in a
standalone compilation as is the kernel.
There's no indication that the compiler is not confused on other
platforms. It's likely that saving the stack in those cases is
trivial enough that the compiler doesn't need to off-load the
complexity to a runtime function.
The code is believed to be correctly translated, but has not been
tested. The overall structure remained the same, except that it's
made explicit. The macros that implement the try/catch construct
have been removed to avoid reintroduction of their use. It's not
a good idea.
In general the rewritten code is slightly more optimal in that it
doesn't need as much stack space and generally is smaller in size.

- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.

This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.
