- Replace v_flag with v_iflag and v_vflag
- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

Introduce support for Mandatory Access Control and extensible
kernel access control.

Instrument devfs to support per-dirent MAC labels. In particular,
invoke MAC framework when devfs directory entries are instantiated
due to make_dev() and related calls, and invoke the MAC framework
when vnodes are instantiated from these directory entries. Implement
vop_setlabel() for devfs, which pushes the label update into the
devfs directory entry for semi-persistant store. This permits the MAC
framework to assign labels to devices and directories as they are
instantiated, and export access control information via devfs vnodes.

Introduce the DEVFS "rule" subsystem. DEVFS rules permit the
administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.

Change the second argument of vflush() to an integer that specifies
the number of references on the filesystem root vnode to be both
expected and released. Many filesystems hold an extra reference on
the filesystem root vnode, which must be accounted for when
determining if the filesystem is busy and then released if it isn't
busy. The old `skipvp' approach required individual filesystem
xxx_unmount functions to re-implement much of vflush()'s logic to
deal with the root vnode.

All 9 filesystems that hold an extra reference on the root vnode
got the logic wrong in the case of forced unmounts, so `umount -f'
would always fail if there were any extra root vnode references.
Fix this issue centrally in vflush(), now that we can.

This commit also fixes a vnode reference leak in devfs, which could
result in idle devfs filesystems that refuse to unmount.

An initial tidyup of the mount() syscall and VFS mount code.

This code replaces the earlier work done by jlemon in an attempt to
make linux_mount() work.

* the guts of the mount work has been moved into vfs_mount().

* move `type', `path' and `flags' from being userland variables into being
kernel variables in vfs_mount(). `data' remains a pointer into
userspace.

* Attempt to verify the `type' and `path' strings passed to vfs_mount()
aren't too long.

* rework mount() and linux_mount() to take the userland parameters
(besides data, as mentioned) and pass kernel variables to vfs_mount().
(linux_mount() already did this, I've just tidied it up a little more.)

* remove the copyin*() stuff for `path'. `data' still requires copyin*()
since its a pointer into userland.

* set `mount->mnt_statf_mntonname' in vfs_mount() rather than in each
filesystem. This variable is generally initialised with `path', and
each filesystem can override it if they want to.

* NOTE: f_mntonname is intiailised with "/" in the case of a root mount.

Don't hold an extra reference to vnodes. Devfs vnodes are sufficiently
cheap to setup that it doesn't really matter that we recycle device
vnodes at kleenex speed.

Implement first cut try at killing cloned devices when they are
not needed anymore. For now only the bpf driver is involved in
this experiment. Cloned devices can set the SI_CHEAPCLONE flag
which allows us to destroy_dev() it when the vcount() drops to zero
and the vnode is reclaimed. For now it's a requirement that the
driver doesn't keep persistent state from close to (re)open.

Some whitespace changes.

Add support for an overflow table for DEVFS inodes. The static

of 32k inodes is allocated. Both numbers can be changed at
