d243747d92 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

a3a1f70ff4 Clarify what the lockfunc is used for. When it will be called and
when it won't be called.  The old wording was correct, but not
sufficiently specific to understand when and how it would be called.
The new wording describes the current implementation's usage (which
should be updated if other appropriate times are decided upon),
specifically that it is called only when the load operation is
deferred to keep the locking state consistent.  When the operation
isn't deferred, the calling routine is assumed to have a coherent
locking world.

5c1c6f2674 Even in a 80 column, fixed point font, there's plenty of room for all
the arguments to bus_dmamap_load, so don't use '...' but list the
actual args.  '...' usually means a variable number of args (cf
printf(3)), but bus_dmamap_load takes a fixed number of arguments.

b28f179924 In the SYNOPSIS section, move the bus_dmamem_alloc function prototype

0b32901632 - Add two fields to bio structure: 'bio_cflags' which can be used by
consumer and 'bio_pflags' which can be used by provider.
- Remove BIO_FLAG1 and BIO_FLAG2 flags. From now on new fields should be
  used for internal flags.
- Update g_bio(9) manual page.
- Update some comments.
- Update GEOM_MIRROR, which was the only one using BIO_FLAGs.

d9fecc83c8 Rename suser_cred()'s PRISON_ROOT flag to SUSER_ALLOWJAIL. This is
somewhat clearer, but more importantly allows for a consistent naming
scheme for suser_cred flags.

b0e6874188 Give kldunload a -f(orce) argument.
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules.  This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.

MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module.  Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.

When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.

For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.

Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
