the buffer as still being dirty. This isn't a perfect solution, but
throwing away the buffer contents will often result in filesystem
corruption and this solution will at least correctly deal with transient
errors.

This should be merged into RELENG_3 and a similar patch may be needed
for RELENG_2_2, should that deemed necessary.
Make world succeeded with these patches in my tree.

changes:
- Finish migrating zic to its own private.h.
- Fix zic.8 so that it really is written in -mdoc.
- Add four new flags to zic (&document):
-D don't create directories
-u change ownership of newly-created files to user
-g change ownership of newly-created files to group
-m change mode of newly-created files to modespec
These, once proven, can be used to clean up the installation.

Secure Hashing Algorithm - 1 (SHA-1), along with the further
refinement of what $x$salt$hash means. With this new crypt the
following are all acceptable:
$1$
$MD5$
$SHA1$
Note: $2$ is used by OpenBSD's Blowfish, which I considered adding
as $BF$, but there is no actual need for it with SHA-1. However,
somebody wishing to add OpenBSD password support could easilly add
it in now.
There is also a malloc_crypt() available in the library now, which
behaves exactly the same as crypt(), but it uses a malloced buffer
instead of a static buffer. However, this is not standard so will
likely not be used much (at all).
Also, for those interested I did a brief speed test Pentium 166/MMX,
which shows the DES crypt to do approximately 2640 crypts a CPU second,
MD5 to do about 62 crypts a CPU second and SHA1 to do about 18 crypts
a CPU second.

swap blocks are now in PAGE_SIZE'd increments instead of DEV_BSIZE'd
increments. We still convert to DEV_BSIZE'd increments for the
backing store I/O, but everything else is in PAGE_SIZE increments.
vm_pager.h
Added argument to getpbuf() and relpbuf() to allow each subsystem to
specify a different hard limit on the number of simultanious physical
bufferes that said subsystem may allocate. Without this feature, one
subsystem ( e.g. the vfs clustering code ) could hog *ALL* the pbufs,
causing a deadlock in the pager in a low memory situation.
Same for trypbuf().
Removed call to vm_object_collapse(), which can block. This was being
called without the pageout code holding any sort of reference on the
vm_object or vm_page_t structures being manipulated. Since this code
can block, it was possible for other kernel code to shred the state
the pageout code was assuming remained intact.
Fixed potential blocking condition in vm_pageout_page_free() ( which
could cause a deadlock in a low-memory situation ).
Currently there is a hack in-place to deal with clean filesystem meta-data
polluting the inactive page queue. John doesn't like the hack, and neither
do I.
Revamped and commented a portion of the pageout loop.
Added protection against potential memory deadlocks with OBJT_VNODE
when using VOP_ISLOCKED(). The problem is that vp->v_data can be NULL
which causes VOP_ISLOCKED() to return a less informed answer.
remove vm_pager_sync() -- none of the pagers use it any more ( the old
swapper used to. The new one does not ).
