wait for those cpus, instead of all of them by using a count. Oops.
Make the pointer to the mask that the primary cpu spins on volatile, so
gcc doesn't optimize out an important load. Oops again.
Activate tlb shootdown ipi synchronization now that it works. We have
all involved cpus wait until all the others are done. This may not be
necessary, it is mostly for sanity.
Make the trigger level interrupt ipi handler work.

The stat() and open() calls have been changed to make use of this new functionality. Using shared locks in
these cases is sufficient and can significantly reduce their latency if IO is pending to these vnodes. Also,
this reduces the number of exclusive locks that are floating around in the system, which helps reduce the
number of deadlocks that occur.
A new kernel option "LOOKUP_SHARED" has been added. It defaults to off so this patch can be turned on for
testing, and should eventually go away once it is proven to be stable. I have personally been running this
patch for over a year now, so it is believed to be fully stable.

test and play with this.
This is not yet production quality and should be run only on dedicated

For people who want to develop transformations for GEOM there exist a
set of shims to run geom in userland (ask phk@freebsd.org).

update the free-space statistics in some cases. The problem affected
directory blocks when the free space dropped below the size of the
maximum allowed entry size. When this happened, the free-space
summary information could claim that there are no further blocks
that can fit a maximum-size entry, even if there are.
The effect of this bug is that the directory may be enlarged even
though there is space within the directory for the new entry. This
wastes disk space and has a negative impact on performance.
Fix it by correctly computing the dh_firstfree array index, adding
a helper macro for clarity. Put an extra sanity check into
ufsdirhash_checkblock() to detect the situation in future.

read-only.
The trouble here is that we don't reopen the device in read/write mode
when we remount in read/write mode resulting in a filesystem sending
write requests to a device which was only opened read/only.
I'm not quite sure how such a reopen would best be done and defer
the problem to more agile hackers.
