4c8f7388e5 Improve the queuing algorithms used by NFS' asynchronous i/o. The
existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others.  This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance.  The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.

The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point.  All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points.  This removes the sysctl variable vfs.nfs.dwrite
since the new queueing mechanism removes the old delayed write code
completely.

This should go into the 2.2 branch.

966cbc5d29 Even though this looks like it, this is not a complex code change.
The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust.  Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.

This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.

Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls.  The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

NFSv2 state).

88d6fa4d4a Second batch of cleanup changes.
This time mostly making a lot of things static and some unused
variables here and there.

666343f7f0 Changes to support version 3 of the NFS protocol.
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount).  The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server.  It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.

Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs.  Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.

NFS diskless support is untested.

071d10f334 This is a bunch of changes from NetBSD. There are a couple of bug-fixes.
But mostly it is changes to use the list-maintenance macros instead of
doing the pointer-gymnastics by hand.

42a70cf15d Prototyping and general gcc-shutting up. Gcc has one warning now which looks
bad, I will get to it eventually, unless somebody beats me to it.
