This is ongoing work from Damjan Jovanovic to improve ext4 read support
with sparse files:
Keep track of the first and last block in each extent as it descends down
the extent tree, thus being able to work out that some blocks are sparse
earlier. This solves an issue on r293680.
In ext4_bmapext() start supporting the runb parameter, which appears to be
the number of adjacent blocks prior to the block being converted in the
same way that runp is the number of blocks after, speding up random access
to mmaped files.

Replace the hw.ntb.enable_writecombine tunable with
hw.ntb.default_mw_pat. It can be set with several specific numerical
values to select a caching type. Any bogus value is treated as
Uncacheable (UC).
The ntb_mw_set_wc() KPI has removed the restriction that the selected
mode must be one of UC, WC, or WB.

made writeable by the root user. Userspace audio daemons can add or
update an entry in /dev/sndstat by doing a single system write call to
any /dev/sndstat file descriptor handle. When the audio daemon closes the
file handle or is killed the entry disappears.
While at it, cleanup the sound status code a bit:
- keep the device list sorted to avoid sorting the list every time a
/dev/sndstat read request is made.
- factor out locking into a pair of locking macros.
- use the sound status lock to protect all per file handle states,
when generating the output for /dev/sndstat and when removing or
adding sound status devices. This way sndstat_acquire() and
sndstat_release() become superfluous and can be removed.

Currently, there is no easy way to know in advance how many entries a list parsed by
ofw_bus_parse_xref_list_alloc() in sys/dev/ofw/ofw_bus_subr.c has.
This patch:
* teaches the existing function about handling idx == -1 and returning how big
the set is; then renames it as _internal;
* create a new function that asserts idx != -1, so the old API is maintained;
* add a new function that returns just the list length.

Kernel threads (and processes) are supposed to call kthread_exit() (or
kproc_exit()) to terminate. However, the kernel includes a fallback in
fork_exit() to force a kthread exit if a kernel thread's "main" routine
returns. This fallback was added back when the kernel only had processes
and was not updated to call kthread_exit() instead of kproc_exit() when
threads were added to the kernel.
This mistake was particular exciting when the errant thread belonged to
proc0. Due to the missing P_KTHREAD flag the fallback did not kick in
and instead tried to return to userland via whatever garbage was in the
trapframe. With P_KTHREAD set it tried to terminate proc0 resulting in
other amusements.

While the later is a better random generator than the former, the main
reason of the change is that random() has a better chance to work with
libstand(3).
At this time we don't include random number generators in bootforth

Although POSIX literally permits failing with [EINVAL] if IPC_CREAT and
IPC_EXCL were both passed, the semaphore set already exists and has fewer
semaphores than nsems, this does not allow an application to retry safely:
if the [EINVAL] is actually because of the semmsl limit, an infinite loop
would result.
