According to the open firmware standard, finddevice call has to return
a phandle with value of -1 in case of error.
This commit is to:
- Fix the FDT implementation of this interface (ofw_fdt_finddevice) to
return (phandle_t)-1 in case of error, instead of 0 as it does now.
- Fix up the callers of OF_finddevice() to compare the return value with
-1 instead of 0 to check for errors.
- Since phandle_t is unsigned, the return value of OF_finddevice should
be checked with '== -1' rather than '<= 0' or '> 0', fix up these cases
as well.

NFS server and reuse it for writes as well to allow writes to the backing
store to be clustered.
- Use a prime number for the size of the heuristic table (1017 is not
prime).
- Move the logic to locate a heuristic entry from the table and compute
the sequential count out of VOP_READ() and into a separate routine.
- Use the logic from sequential_heuristic() in vfs_vnops.c to update the
seqcount when a sequential access is performed rather than just
increasing seqcount by 1. This lets the clustering count ramp up
faster.
- Allow for some reordering of RPCs and if it is detected leave the current
seqcount as-is rather than dropping back to a seqcount of 1. Also,
when out of order access is encountered, cut seqcount in half rather than
dropping it all the way back to 1 to further aid with reordering.
- Fix the new NFS server to properly update the next offset after a
successful VOP_READ() so that the readahead actually works.

introduced when feed-forward clock support is enabled in the kernel:
- Rename the "choice" variable to "available".
- Streamline the implementation of the "active" variable's sysctl handler
function.
- Create a kern.sysclock sysctl node for general sysclock related configuration
options. Place the "available" and "active" variables under this node.
- Create a kern.sysclock.ffclock sysctl node for feed-forward clock specific
configuration options. Place the "version" and "ffcounter_bypass" variables
under this node.
- Tweak some of the description strings.

- CTFCONVERT_CMD/NORMAL_CTFCONVERT are now defined to empty string
if make(1) can handle empty commands
- CTFCONVERT_CMD=... is a hack (should be defined to empty string instead):
make(1) should be taught to ignore empty commands silently in compat mode
(as it does in !compat mode, GNU make also silently ignores empty commands)
and to skip printing empty commands in !compat mode
- config(8) should generate ${NORMAL_CTFCONVERT} invocation without '@':
this will allow to simplify kern.pre.mk even more and lessen the number
of shell invocations during kernel build when CTF is turned off
- WITH_CTF can now be converted to usual MK_CTF=yes/no infrastructure

Since the address of vm_page lock mutex depends on the kernel options,
it is easy for module to get out of sync with the kernel.
No vm_page_lockptr() accessor is provided for modules. It can be added
later if needed, unless proper KPI is developed to serve the needs.
