On Linux, /proc/<pid>/fd is comparable to fdescfs, where it allows you
to inspect the file descriptors used by each process. Glibc's ttyname()
works by performing a readlink() on these nodes, since all nodes in this
directory are symlinks.
It is a bit hard to implement this in linprocfs right now, so I am not
going to bother. Add a way to make ttyname(3) work, by adding a
/proc/<pid>/fd symlink, which points to /dev/fd only if the calling
process matches. When fdescfs is mounted, this will cause the
readlink() in ttyname() to fail, causing it to fall back on manually
finding a matching node in /dev.

vnet.h, we now use jails (rather than vimages) as the abstraction
for virtualization management, and what remained was specific to
virtual network stacks. Minor cleanups are done in the process,
and comments updated to reflect these changes.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

- Add Linux shim to ipmi(4)
- Create a partitions file to linprocfs to make Linux fdisk see

- Convert msdosfs to vfat in mtab since Linux uses that for
msdosfs.
- In the Linux mount path convert vfat passed in to msdosfs

net/route.h.
Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.
We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

Commit message for r185765 should be:
In procfs map handler, and in linprocfs maps handler, do not call
vn_fullpath() while having vm map locked. This is done in anticipation
of the vop_vptocnp commit, that would make vn_fullpath sometime
acquire vnode lock.
Also, in linprocfs, maps handler already acquires vnode lock.

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.
Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().
Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).
All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change

This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed

Remove this argument and pass curthread directly to underlying
VOP_LOCK1() VFS method. This modify makes the code cleaner and in
particular remove an annoying dependence helping next lockmgr() cleanup.
KPI results, obviously, changed.
Manpage and FreeBSD_version will be updated through further commits.
As a side note, would be valuable to say that next commits will address
a similar cleanup about VFS methods, in particular vop_lock1 and
vop_unlock.

per-cpu area. cp_time[] goes away and a new function creates a merged
cp_time-like array for things like linprocfs, sysctl etc. The
atomic ops for updating cp_time[] in statclock go away, and the scope
of the thread lock is reduced.
sysctl kern.cp_time returns a backwards compatible cp_time[] array.
A new kern.cp_times sysctl returns the individual per-cpu stats.
I have pending changes to make top and vmstat optionally show per-cpu
stats.
I'm very aware that there are something like 5 or 6 other versions "out
there" for doing this - but none were handy when I needed them.
I did merge my changes with John Baldwin's, and ended up replacing a
few chunks of my stuff with his, and stealing some other code.
