SMP we'd like as much feedback as possible from users about possible
locking problems as early as possible.
To negate most of the performance impact I've also enabled
WITNESS_SKIPSPIN. I've done this as we've been running WITNESS
over the spinlock code for a while without incident and it goes a
long way to making the performance problems of WITNESS much more
bearable.
Users who should be running current should know about turning WITNESS
off for performance reasons.
That said and done, WITNESS could/should be made into a tuneable,
but we'll leave that as an excersize to those that want to disable
it without a kernel recompile.

- Cleaned up coding conventions to make code more unix-like.
- Cleaned up code in if_em_fxhw.c and if_em_phy.c.

support for managing both streaming caches on psycho pairs).
Use explicit bus space accesses instead of mapping the device memory into
kva.
Move DVMA allocation to the map creation/dma memory allocation functions.
disable interrupts completely, and stxa_sync(), which performs a store
immediately followed by a membar #Sync with interrupts disabled (this
is needed for writes to diagnostic registers).
to multi-volume restores:
- In findinode(), keep a copy of header->c_type so that we don't
exit the do-while loop until we have processed the current header.
Exiting too early leaves curfile.ino set to 0, which confuses
the logic in createfiles(), so multi-volume restores with the
'x' command don't work if you follow the instructions and supply
the tapes in reverse order. This appears to have been broken
by CSRG revision 5.33 tape.c (Oct 1992).
- The logic in getvol() for deciding how many records to skip after
the volume header was confused; sometimes it would skip too few
records and sometimes too many, leading to "resync restore"
warnings and missing files. Skip to the next header only when
the current action is not `USING'. Work around a dump bug that
sets c_count incorrectly in the volume header of the first tape.
Some of the problems here date back to at least 1991.
- Back out revision 1.23. This appeared to avoid warnings about
missing files in the 'rN' verification case, but it made the
problems with the 'x' command worse by stopping getvol() from
even attempting to find the first inode number on the newly
inserted tape. The bug it addressed is fixed by correcting the
skipping logic as described above.
- Save the value of `tpblksread' in case the wrong volume is
supplied, because it is incremented each time we read a volume
header. We already saved `blksread' for the same reson.
slower, and may be impeding adoption of -CURRENT by developers. We
recommend turning on WITNESS by default on crash boxes, and when doing
locking development. It will probably get turned on by default for a week
or two following any major locking commits, also.
