mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

also try implement teh documented behaviour in socket nodes
so that when there is only one hook, an unaddressed write/send
will DTRT and send the data to that hook.
(e.g. ethernet nodes are persistent until you rip out the hardware)
Use this support in the ethernet and sample nodes.
Add some more abstraction on the 'item's so that node and
hook reference counting can be checked easier.
Slight man page correction.
Make pppoe type dependent on ethernet type.
Clean up node shutdown a little.
Move a mutex from MTX_SPIN to MTX_DEF (oops)
Fix small ref-counting bug.
remove warning on one2many type.
The new method is 'flood' (in addition to the old round-robin)
in which incoming packets are sent to more than one outgoing hook.
(I'm not sure what Rogier is using this for but it seems generally useful
and isn't much extra)

from a node, but does it via the locking queue, thus ensuring that the
node is locked when it's hook is removed.
Add 'deadnode' and 'deadhook' structures for when a node or hook is
invalidated but not yet freed. (not yet freed)
This version is functional and is aproaching solid..
notice I said APROACHING. There are many node types I cannot test

The rest compile and "Look" right. More changes to follow.
DEBUGGING is enabled in this code to help if people have problems.
format version number. (userland programs should not need to be
recompiled when the netgraph kernel internal ABI is changed.
Also fix modules that don;t handle the fact that a caller may not supply
a return message pointer. (benign at the moment because the calling code
checks, but that will change)
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)

Implement a new ``sizedstring'' parse type for dealing with field pairs
consisting of a uint16_t followed by a data field of that size, and use
this to deal with the data_len and data fields.

Add ASCII2BINARY and BINARY2ASCII capabilities.
The old format is still understood and dealt with, but can't do
