Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system.
vfs_bio.c:
Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance
by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken
logic.
Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs.
Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR).
(various)
Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine
called vfs_bio_clrbuf().
(various FS sync)
Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages.
ffs_vnops.c:
Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks.
vm_fault.c:
Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order.
vnode_pager.c:
Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This
should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting
updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is
going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES().
vm_object.c:
Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance
of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects,
but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object
pages sorted.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other
lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.
to accurately track this. It isn't an indicator of resource consumption
anyway.
Removed cnt.v_kernel_pages: We don't implement this and doing so accurately
would be very difficult (and ambiguous - since process pages are often
double mapped in the kernel and the process address spaces).
VTEXT not always getting cleared when it is supposed to. Added check to
make sure that vm_object_remove() isn't called with a NULL pager or for
a pager for an OBJ_INTERNAL object (neither of which will be on the hash
list). Clear OBJ_CANPERSIST if we decide to terminate it because of no
resident pages.
was the wrong size. This is the likely cause of panics reported by
Lars Fredriksen and Paul Richards related to a -1 blkno when paging
via the swap_pager.

routines (and merged local changes). The changed vnode_pager_uncache
gets rids of the bogosity that you can call the routine without
having the vnode locked. The changed vnode_pager_umount properly locks
the vnode before calling vnode_pager_uncache.
now returns NULL and sets a global 'mb_map_full' when the map is full.
m_clalloc() has further been taught to expect this and do the right thing.
This should fix the "mb_map full" panics that several people have reported.
object has fallen off the end of the cached list - this is likely the
last reference to the vnode and it should be reused before non file
vnodes that are already on the free list (VDIR mostly).
New functions create - vm_object_pip_wakeup and pagedaemon_wakeup that
are used to reduce the actual number of wakeups.
New function vm_page_protect which is used in conjuction with some new
page flags to reduce the number of calls to pmap_page_protect.
Minor changes to reduce unnecessary spl nesting.
Rewrote vm_page_alloc() to improve readability.
Various other mostly cosmetic changes.
that 9 bits aren't lost in the conversion. Changed all callers to expect
this. This allows paging on large (>2GB) filesystems.

Use request==VM_ALLOC_NORMAL rather than object!=kmem_object in deciding
if the caller is "important" in vm_page_alloc(). Also established a new
low threshold for non-interrupt allocations via cnt.v_interrupt_free_min.
vm_pageout.c:
Various algorithmic cleanup. Some calculations simplified. Initialize
cnt.v_interrupt_free_min to 2 pages.
