This allows subsystems to declare their malloc types locally
and <sys/malloc.h> doesn't need tweaked everytime somebody
gets an idea. You can even have a type local to a lkm...
I don't know if we really need the longdesc, comments welcome.

the rest closer to their use.
now corrected. New tunables/instrumentation added. The code is now
likely "good enough to use." I will add the userland support soon.
The "high performance" mode for raw devices is still missing, and will
be added next. POSIX system calls that now appear to work:
aio_cancel, aio_error, aio_read, aio_return, aio_suspend, aio_write,
lio_listio. Missing, but to be added soon: aio_fsync.

When one is selecting (or polling) for write, it helps if we use the
write side of the pipe when requesting wakeups instead of the read side.
This broke ghostview (at least) - I'm suprised it wasn't noticed for
so long.

bits of the mnt_flag. The sysctl variables, vfs.foo.doclusterread

control clustered I/O from userland.
2. When foofs_mount mounts block device, foofs_mount checks D_CLUSTERR
and D_CLUSTERW bits of the d_flags member in the block device switch

MNT_NOCLUSTERW cannot be cleared from userland.

the hash to find the bucket that the entry to remove is stored in so
that each callout entry no longer needs to store that information.

Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks".
A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely
during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once
interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before
the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration
task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete
any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init.
System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The
hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task
is complete or the system boot can continue.

Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout
service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of
Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical
report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities".
The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one
outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are:
struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *),
void *arg, int ticks);
void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg,
struct callout_handle handle);
If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the
callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout.
The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts
making this interface scale well even for applications that
keep 100s of callouts outstanding.
See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.
Add cpu_rootconf and cpu_dumpconf so that configuring these
two devices can be better controlled by the MI configuration
code.

it has reasonable stats gathering capabilities, while making most calls

or a partition is larger than the slice.
Now `disklabel -Brw sdX auto' should fail properly on sliced disks
without partition of type 165, e.g., on zip disks with the factory
default formatting. Previously it set a bogus in-core label for
the compatibility slice and used this to corrupt the MBR (the slice
has offset 0 and size 0, but setting the label in effect corrupted
its size to nonzero).
`disklabel -Brw sdX auto' already failed properly on normally (not
dangerously dedicated) sliced disks _with_ partition of type 165,
because the compatibility slice has a nonzero offset so the MBR
remained inaccessible when the size was corrupted.
This bug only affected in-core labels. On-disk labels are checked
carefully when they read and written.
