Update netisr handling; Each SWI now registers its queue, and all queue
drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

Add two loader tuneables that allow one to change the maximum number of
queue items that can be allocated by netgraph and the number of free queue
items that are cached on a private list.

Netgraph places an upper limit on the number of queue items it may allocate.
When there is a large number of netgraph messages travelling through the
system (100k/sec and more) there is a high probability, that messages get
queued at the nodes and netgraph runs out of queue items. In this case the data
flow through netgraph gets blocked. The tuneable for the number of free
items lets one trade memory for performance.

The tunables are also available as read-only sysctls.

Make the consumers of the linker_load_file() function use
linker_load_module() instead.

This fixes a bug where the kernel was unable to properly locate and
load a kernel module in vfs_mount() (and probably in the netgraph
code as well since it was using the same function). This is because
the linker_load_file() does not properly search the module path.

ng_base.c:
add 'node' as an argument to ng_apply_item so that it is up
to the caller to take over and release the item's reference on
the node. If the release reports back that the node went away
due to the reference going to 0, the caller should cease referencing
the now defunct node. (e.g. the item was a 'kill node' message).

Change and clean the mutex lock interface.

Change and clean the mutex lock interface.

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.
