order to avoid namespace collision with subr_mchain.c's mb_init(). This
wasn't "fatal" as the mbuf initialization routine mb_init() was local to
subr_mbuf.c which in turn didn't pull in subr_mchain.c's mb_init()
declaration, but it should deffinately be changed now before it creates
headache.
introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one
which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource
reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages:
o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks.
o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools.
o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros.
o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able
to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer
needed by the network stacks.
Additional things changed with this addition:
- Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from
sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong.
- m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really
confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new
name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old
name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was
merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster."
- TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and
systat(1) (see TODO below).
- Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU
stat structures.
- Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported
per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl.
TODO (in order of priority):
- Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after
introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the
already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it
seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are
already present).
- Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also
"total free mbufs per CPU pool."
- Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently
re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file.
- Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion
of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter.
- Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

This change is necessary in order to avoid some circular bootstrapping

Instead of:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));
You can now (and please do) use:
foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);
In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of

machines with 4GB or less of memory. A complete fix will require some
changes to the getenv stuff so that 64bit values can be passed around.
NOT FIXED: machines with more than 4GB of RAM (e.g. some large Alphas)
