use-after-free over a longer time. Also release the backing pages of
a guarded allocation at free(9) time to reduce the overhead of using
memguard(9). Allow setting and varying the malloc type at run-time.
Add knobs to allow:
- randomly guarding memory
- adding un-backed KVA guard pages to detect underflow and overflow
- a lower limit on the size of allocations that are guarded

MFC after: 7 days
Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
BSD license.
TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the
most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In
the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.

everyone who helped in reviewing and testing
taskqueues, more than one task can be running simultaneously.
Also make taskqueue_run(9) static to the file, since there are no
consumers in the base kernel and the function signature needs to change
with this fix.
Remove mention of taskqueue_run(9) and taskqueue_run_fast(9) from the
taskqueue(9) man page.

- Fixed the interface probe routine to only attach to USB interfaces the driver
actually supports. This allows other drivers to attach to things like
MicroSD slots etc.
- Fixed network interface enumeration to be globally sequential instead of
relying on the USB interface numbers. This make sure the first network
interface always is at uhso0 and the second at usho1 and so on.
- Added a radio kill switch; exposed through sysctl.
- Updated the manual page to be verbose about the number of serial ports and
include iCON 452 in the set of tested hardware.

returns the requested unit number if it is free. If the number is
