activation (i.e., applications are using libpthread). This is because
SCHED_ULE sometimes puts P_SA processes into ksq_next unnecessarily.
Which doesn't give fair amount of CPU time to processes which are
using scheduler-activation-based threads when other (semi-)CPU-intensive,
non-P_SA processes are running.
Further work will no doubt be done by jeffr at a later date.

the caller to copyout the status and rusage to userland if needed. This
lets us axe the 'compat' argument and hide all that functionality in
owait(), by the way. This also cleans up some locking in kern_wait()
since it no longer has to drop locks around copyout() since all the
copyout()'s are deferred.
- Convert owait(), wait4(), and the various ABI compat wait() syscalls to
use kern_wait() rather than wait1() or wait4(). This removes a bit
more stackgap usage.

Fix another bug in the oldlen return value code.
Fix a potential wired memory leak if a sysctl handler uses
sysctl_wire_old_buffer() and returns an EAGAIN error to trigger
a retry.
If vslock() returns ENOMEM, sysctl_wire_old_buffer() should set
wiredlen to zero and return zero (success) so that the handler will
operate according to sysctl(3):
The size of the buffer is given by the location specified by
oldlenp before the call, and that location gives the amount
of data copied after a successful call and after a call that
returns with the error code ENOMEM.
The handler will return an ENOMEM error because the zero length
buffer will overflow.

- thread_wait() is mpsafe, assert no Giant
- reduce scope of Giant in exit to not cover thread_wait and just do
vm_waitproc().
- assert that thread_single() family are not called with Giant
- remove the DROP/PICKUP_GIANT macros from thread_single() family
- assert that thread_suspend_check() s not called with Giant
- remove manual drop_giant hack in thread_suspend_check since we know it

the last chunk are misaligned relative to a MAXBSIZE byte boundary.
vn_rdwr_inchunks() is used mainly for elf core dumps, and elf sections
are usually perfectly misaligned relative to MAXBSIZE, and chunking
prevents the file system from doing much realigning.
This gives a surprisingly large speedup for core dumps -- from 50 to
13 seconds for a 512MB core dump here. The pessimization was mostly
from an interaction of the misalignment with IO_DIRECT. It increased
the number of i/o's for each chunk by a factor of 5 (3 writes and 2
read-before-writes instead of 1 write).

icc v8 may define __GNUC__ some parts may look strange but are

were a rather overwhelming task. I soon learned that if you don't know
where you're going to store something, at least try to pile it next to
something slightly related in the hope that a pattern emerges.
Apply the same principle to the ffs/snapshot/softupdates code which have
leaked into specfs: Add yet a buf-quasi-method and call it from the
only two places I can see it can make a difference and implement the
magic in ffs_softdep.c where it belongs.
It's not pretty, but at least it's one less layer violated.
