B_ASYNC flag broke things pretty bad (freeing buffer already on
queue or other wierd buffer queue errors.) The broken code is
left in commented out, but this makes the problem go away for
now.
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
for entire SYS5 SHM segments. This is totally unnecessary, and so the
correct allocation of VM objects has been substituted. (The vm_mmap
was misused -- vm_object_allocate is more appropriate.)
Bowrite guarantees that buffers queued after a call to bowrite will
be written after the specified buffer (on a particular device).
Bowrite does this either by taking advantage of hardware ordering support
(e.g. tagged queueing on SCSI devices) or resorting to a synchronous write.
were declared as non-const. This is backwards (_lkm_exec() changes the
pointers but all the target `struct execsw's are const). Fixed this
and poisoned related declarations to match and removed the bogus casts
that hid the bug.
the file access time update on reads and can be useful in reducing
filesystem overhead in cases where the access time is not important (like
Usenet news spools).
the primary and secondary return codes, causing it to not behave as
documented. This probably originates from the ancient BSD kernels that
had pipe(2) implemented by socketpair(2), there are no binaries left that
we can run that do this.

note that at_shutdown has a new parameter to indicate When
during a shutdown the callout should be made. also
add a RB_POWEROFF flag to reboot "howto" parameter..
tells the reboot code in our at_shutdown module to turn off the UPS
and kill the power. bound to be useful eventually on laptops
The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

half way through the range rather than possibly colliding with
fixed elements. Increase the size of the arrays to take this into account..
remember that each element in the array is now only 1 ponter so this
isn't that much..
also note a possible bug in debugging code in uipc_socket2.c (add XXX)
I've been meaning to do this for AGES as I keep having to patch those routines
whenever I write a proprietary package or similar..
any module that assigns resources to processes needs to know when
these events occur. there are existsing modules that should be modified
to take advantage of these.. e.g. SYSV IPC primatives
presently have #ifdef entries in exit()
this also helps with making LKMs out of such things..
(see the man pages at_exit(9) and at_fork(9))
called kern_shutdown.c
note: I couldn't see anything machine dependant in the
functions boot() and dumpsys() which were in machdep.c
I have left a prototype for cpu_boot() which would go in
machdep.c, but I have nothing to put in it. Iexpect others will
let me know in no uncertain ways that this or that is machine dependant
and should be there, but I'll way for that to happen.. :)
I haven't actually taken the functions OUT of machdep
or anywhere else yet.. I'm checking in this file so others can have a look
at it and comment. SO PLEASE DO COMMENT!
I am also (in another checkin) addinf a man(9) page for the new
at_shotdown().. er freudian slip there.. at_shutdown() call
so have a look at that (and at_exit and at_fork as well)
and feed me comments..
I'll heck in the changes to make these (shutdown) changes active tomorrow
if no-one objects too strongly..
Fixes unp_externalize panic which occurs when a process is at it's
ulimit for file descriptors and tries to receive a file descriptor from
another process.

block number.. (assuming Debugger() returned). The disk drivers assume
that dscheck() sets both error markers (bp->b_error and set B_ERROR in
bp->b_flags) if it fails.
