SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface. kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook. This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process. This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.
One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process. It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit. This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available". This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.
commentary. :) 3rd and final frob of this. Leave enough comments
behind that anyone running into trouble at least has some cited clues
on dealing with it and jump into the brave new world with uncommented
IANA port assignments.

An error other then it not existing might be a trick to somehow
circumvent system security.

This doesn't change the size or alignment of the structure on either i386
or Alpha, and thus should be binary-compatible (modulo problems with old
applications and routes with more than 2^15 references).

syscalls set p->p_retval[] themselves. Simplify the SYSINIT_KT() code

The following ugly hack to the exit path of nfs_readlinkrpc() circumvents
an Auspex bug: for symlinks longer than 112 (0x70) they return a 1024 byte
xdr string - the correct data with many nulls appended. Without this fix
namei returns ENAMETOOLONG, at least it does on our source base and on
FreeBSD 3.0. Note we do not (and should not) rely upon their null padding.
i386 isa drivers that used to be order sensitive. The probe order of
those drivers is now determined by a list in isa_compat.c and config
file order is totally irrelevant.
- Do not try to allocate a keyboard in pccnprobe() when probing the vt
driver for the kernel console. Rather, allocate a keyboard when
initializing the vt driver in pccninit().
- Release the keyboard in pccnterm().
- Don't try to read from the keyboard, if it is not present.
(really this time) fix pageout to swap and a couple of clustering cases.
This simplifies BUF_KERNPROC() so that it unconditionally reassigns the
lock owner rather than testing B_ASYNC and having the caller decide when
to do the reassign. At present this is required because some places use
B_CALL/b_iodone to free the buffers without B_ASYNC being set. Also,
vfs_cluster.c explicitly calls BUF_KERNPROC() when attaching the buffers
rather than the parent walking the cluster_head tailq.
