when we mount and get zero cost if no rules are used in a mountpoint.
Add code to deref rules on unmount.
Switch from SLIST to TAILQ.
Drop SYSINIT, use SX_SYSINIT and static initializer of TAILQ instead.
Drop goto, a break will do.
Reduce double pointers to single pointers.
Combine reaping and destroying rulesets.
Avoid memory leaks in a some error cases.
Give DEVFS a proper inode called struct cdev_priv. It is important
to keep in mind that this "inode" is shared between all DEVFS
mountpoints, therefore it is protected by the global device mutex.
Link the cdev_priv's into a list, protected by the global device
mutex. Keep track of each cdev_priv's state with a flag bit and
of references from mountpoints with a dedicated usecount.
Reap the benefits of much improved kernel memory allocator and the
generally better defined device driver APIs to get rid of the tables
of pointers + serial numbers, their overflow tables, the atomics
to muck about in them and all the trouble that resulted in.
This makes RAM the only limit on how many devices we can have.
The cdev_priv is actually a super struct containing the normal cdev
as the "public" part, and therefore allocation and freeing has moved
to devfs_devs.c from kern_conf.c.
The overall responsibility is (to be) split such that kern/kern_conf.c
is the stuff that deals with drivers and struct cdev and fs/devfs
handles filesystems and struct cdev_priv and their private liason
exposed only in devfs_int.h.
Move the inode number from cdev to cdev_priv and allocate inode
numbers properly with unr. Local dirents in the mountpoints
(directories, symlinks) allocate inodes from the same pool to
guarantee against overlaps.
Various other fields are going to migrate from cdev to cdev_priv
in the future in order to hide them. A few fields may migrate
from devfs_dirent to cdev_priv as well.
Protect the DEVFS mountpoint with an sx lock instead of lockmgr,
this lock also protects the directory tree of the mountpoint.
Give each mountpoint a unique integer index, allocated with unr.
Use it into an array of devfs_dirent pointers in each cdev_priv.
Initially the array points to a single element also inside cdev_priv,
but as more devfs instances are mounted, the array is extended with
malloc(9) as necessary when the filesystem populates its directory
tree.
Retire the cdev alias lists, the cdev_priv now know about all the
relevant devfs_dirents (and their vnodes) and devfs_revoke() will
pick them up from there. We still spelunk into other mountpoints
and fondle their data without 100% good locking. It may make better
sense to vector the revoke event into the tty code and there do a
destroy_dev/make_dev on the tty's devices, but that's for further
study.
Lots of shuffling of stuff and churn of bits for no good reason[2].
XXX: There is still nothing preventing the dev_clone EVENTHANDLER
from being invoked at the same time in two devfs mountpoints. It
is not obvious what the best course of action is here.
XXX: comment out an if statement that lost its body, until I can
find out what should go there so it doesn't do damage in the meantime.
XXX: Leave in a few extra malloc types and KASSERTS to help track
down any remaining issues.

running" panics.
Previously, recursion through the "include" feature was prevented by
marking each ruleset as "running" when applied. This doesn't work for
the case where two DEVFS instances try to apply the same ruleset at
the same time.
Instead introduce the sysctl vfs.devfs.rule_depth (default == 1) which
limits how many levels of "include" we will traverse.
Be aware that traversal of "include" is recursive and kernel stack
size is limited.

frobbing the cdevsw.
In both cases we examine only the cdevsw and it is a good question if we
weren't better off copying those properties into the cdev in the first
place. This question will be revisited.
ruleset. If we do, that means there's a ruleset loop (10 includes 20
include 30 includes 10), which will quickly cause a double fault due
to stack overflow (since "include" is implemented by recursion).
(Previously, we only checked that X didn't include X.)
administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.
