b3c54e9bcd kern_subr.c:
Added a new type to uiomove - "UIO_NOCOPY" which causes it to update
pointers and counts, but doesn't do any data copying. This is needed
for upcoming changes to the way that the vnode pager does its page
outs.
Added a new hash init function call "phashinit" that allocates and
initializes a prime number sized hash table.

vfs_cache.c:
Changed hashing algorithm to use the remainder of dividing by a prime
number to improve the distribution characteristcs. Uses new phashinit
function in kern_subr.c.

0edff5994e Don't thrash the name cache while trying to fill up the object cache.
(Make a new cache entry until desiredvnodes is reached).

a64ffc7c28 Clean up and improve the namecache.
1. We always keep one 16th of the vnodes on the freelist, so that the
namecache doesn't get trashed.  It used to be that it wasn't a problem, but
the only vnodes getting released these days are directories and things which
gets forced out of the VM/cache.  The latter is not numerous enough to keep
the pool of vnodes needed for the namecache sufficiently big.

2. Purge invalid entries in the namecache as soon as we notice them.  This
avoids a stale entry pushing out a valid entry on the LRU list.

3. Speed up the lookup in the namecache by avoid a special case branch.

4. Make the cache purge routines do the thing they're supposed to, and in
a decently efficient manner.

5. Make the size of the namecache follow the number of vnodes, so that we
can always point to all the vnodes we have in core.

6. Readability has gone way up.

7. Added a "options NCH_STATISTICS" feature that will gather more
detailed statistics on the performance of the namecache.

25a158ff39 Another little optimization to the nameicache.
If an entry is stale, ditch it.

543c4f70db Update vfs_cache.c to use the <sys/queue.h> macros. This makes it easier
to read, but doesn't change the speed.

c3e4945541 All of this is cosmetic. prototypes, #includes, printfs and so on. Makes
GCC a lot more silent.
