4e290e67b7 Convert lockmgr locks from using simple locks to using mutexes.
Add lockdestroy() and appropriate invocations, which corresponds to
lockinit() and must be called to clean up after a lockmgr lock is no
longer needed.

961b97d434 Back out the previous change to the queue(3) interface.
It was not discussed and should probably not happen.

d93fbc9916 Change the way that the queue(3) structures are declared; don't assume that
the type argument to *_HEAD and *_ENTRY is a struct.

39d5a6d9a1 Merged NetBSD version, as they have done improvements:
1. ntfs_read*attr*() functions now accept
	uio structure to eliminate one data copying.
	2. found and removed deadlock caused
	by 6 concurent ls -lR.
	3. started implementation of nromal
	Unicode<->unix recodeing.

7e26ca1d1a Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
        major()         umajor()
        minor()         uminor()
        makedev()       umakedev()
        dev2udev()      udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits.  This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference.  If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).

05d36e7aea Added limited write ability. Now we can use some kind
of files for swap holders. See mount_ntfs..8 for details.
