The reviewer raises the following caveat: "I believe these changes
open a non-critical race condition when adding memory to the pool
for the zone. I think what will happen is that you could have two
threads that are simultaneously adding additional memory when the
pool runs out. This appears to not be a problem, however, since
the re-aquisition of the lock will protect the list pointers."
The submitter agrees that the race is non-critical, and points out
that it already existed for the non-SMP case. He suggests that
perhaps a sleep lock (using the lock manager) should be used to
close that race. This might be worth revisiting after 3.0 is
released.

with kern.fast_vfork equal to 0, the default and only supported
value for SMP kernels.

There is only cdevsw (which should be renamed in a later edit to deventry

to the same cdevsw struct instead of one to a bdevsw and one to a cdevsw).
rawread()/rawwrite() went away as part of this though it's not strictly

the page offset. If a large file offset was passed in, a large negative
array index could be generated which could cause page faults etc at worst
and file corruption at the least. (Pages are allocated within file
space on page alignment boundaries, so a file offset being passed in here
is harmless to DTRT. The case where this was happening has already been
fixed though, this is in case it happens again).
