than a "waitok" argument. Callers now passing M_WAITOK or M_NOWAIT
rather than 0 or 1. This simplifies the soalloc() logic, and also
makes the waiting behavior of soalloc() more clear in the calling
context.

swap-backed memory disks. This reduces filesystem allocation overhead
and makes swap-backed memory disks compatible with broken code (dd,
for example) which expects to see 512 byte sectors. The size of a
swap-backed memory disk must still be a multiple of the page size.
When performing page-aligned operations, this change has zero
performance impact.

This wasn't needed and probably never would have worked as intended. Now
that cv_waitq_empty() and friends are gone, the code in these drivers that
spins on it can go away too. This should unbreak LINT.

This avoids problems with lock order reversal and malloc() calls
with a mutex held when lower level code unlocks a channel, calls malloc(),
and relocks the channel. This also avoids the cost of some unnecessary
locking and unlocking.

moves the call to make_dev() for the promcons device to a later point of
the boot-up sequence than where promcons initially gets attached, make_dev()
called during the first attach crashes due to kernel stack issues.

sleep queue interface:
- Sleep queues attempt to merge some of the benefits of both sleep queues
and condition variables. Having sleep qeueus in a hash table avoids
having to allocate a queue head for each wait channel. Thus, struct cv
has shrunk down to just a single char * pointer now. However, the
hash table does not hold threads directly, but queue heads. This means
that once you have located a queue in the hash bucket, you no longer have
to walk the rest of the hash chain looking for threads. Instead, you have
a list of all the threads sleeping on that wait channel.
- Outside of the sleepq code and the sleep/cv code the kernel no longer
differentiates between cv's and sleep/wakeup. For example, calls to
abortsleep() and cv_abort() are replaced with a call to sleepq_abort().
Thus, the TDF_CVWAITQ flag is removed. Also, calls to unsleep() and
cv_waitq_remove() have been replaced with calls to sleepq_remove().
- The sched_sleep() function no longer accepts a priority argument as
sleep's no longer inherently bump the priority. Instead, this is soley
a propery of msleep() which explicitly calls sched_prio() before
blocking.
- The TDF_ONSLEEPQ flag has been dropped as it was never used. The
associated TDF_SET_ONSLEEPQ and TDF_CLR_ON_SLEEPQ macros have also been
dropped and replaced with a single explicit clearing of td_wchan.
TD_SET_ONSLEEPQ() would really have only made sense if it had taken
the wait channel and message as arguments anyway. Now that that only
happens in one place, a macro would be overkill.

reversal with the sleepqueue locks. This appears to be the only place

to queue threads sleeping on a wait channel similar to how turnstiles are
used to queue threads waiting for a lock. This subsystem will be used as
the backend for sleep/wakeup and condition variables initially. Eventually
it will also be used to replace the ithread-specific iwait thread
inhibitor.
Sleep queues are also not locked by sched_lock, so this splits sched_lock
up a bit further increasing concurrency within the scheduler. Sleep queues
also natively support timeouts on sleeps and interruptible sleeps allowing
for the reduction of a lot of duplicated code between the sleep/wakeup and
condition variable implementations. For more details on the sleep queue
implementation, check the comments in sys/sleepqueue.h and
kern/subr_sleepqueue.c.
