separately (nfs, cd9660 etc) or keept as a first element of structure
referenced by v_data pointer(ffs). Such organization leads to known problems
with stacked filesystems.
From this point vop_no*lock*() functions maintain only interlock lock.
vop_std*lock*() functions maintain built-in v_lock structure using lockmgr().
vop_sharedlock() is compatible with vop_stdunlock(), but maintains a shared
lock on vnode.
If filesystem wishes to export lockmgr compatible lock, it can put an address
of this lock to v_vnlock field. This indicates that the upper filesystem
can take advantage of it and use single lock structure for entire (or part)
of stack of vnodes. This field shouldn't be examined or modified by VFS code
except for initialization purposes.

o Update vacl_get_acl() so that it does appropriate vnode locking.
o Remove static from M_ACL malloc define so that it is accessible for

also time bloat, partly because the fast path through CURSIG() was

filesystem lookup() routine if it unlocks parent directory. This flag should
be carefully tracked by filesystems if they want to work properly with nullfs
and other stacked filesystems.
VFS takes advantage of this flag to perform symantically correct usage
of vrele() instead of vput() if parent directory already unlocked.
If filesystem fails to track this flag then previous codepath in VFS left
unchanged.
Convert UFS code to set PDIRUNLOCK flag if necessary. Other filesystmes will
be changed after some period of testing.

- Move the 'struct intrec' type which describes interrupt sources into
sys/interrupt.h instead of making it just be a x86 structure.
- Don't create 'ithd' and 'intrec' typedefs, instead, just use 'struct ithd'
and 'struct intrec'
- Move the code to translate new-bus interrupt flags into an interrupt thread
priority out of the x86 nexus code and into a MI ithread_priority()
