Extend kqueue down to the device layer.

Backwards compatible approach suggested by: peter

Back out the previous change to the queue(3) interface.
It was not discussed and should probably not happen.

Requested by: msmith and others

Change the way that the queue(3) structures are declared; don't assume that
the type argument to *_HEAD and *_ENTRY is a struct.

Change the write-behind code to take more care when starting
async I/O's. The sequential read heuristic has been extended to
cover writes as well. We continue to call cluster_write() normally,
thus blocks in the file will still be reallocated for large (but still
random) I/O's, but I/O will only be initiated for truely sequential
writes.

This solves a number of annoying situations, especially with DBM (hash
method) writes, and also has the side effect of fixing a number of
(stupid) benchmarks.

This is what was "fdfix2.patch," a fix for fd sharing. It's pretty
far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use
fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.

Thanks to peter ("to hell with it, it looks ok to me.") for his review.
Thanks to msmith for keeping me from putting locks everywhere :)

This commit is the embodiment of some VFS read clustering improvements.
Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).

NOTE: THAT LKMS MUST BE REBUILT!!!

Fixed lseek() on named pipes. It always succeeded but should always fail.
Broke locking on named pipes in the same way as locking on non-vnodes
(wrong errno). This will be fixed later.

The fix involves negative logic. Named pipes are now distinguished from
other types of files with vnodes, and there is additional code to handle
vnodes and named pipes in the same way only where that makes sense (not
for lseek, locking or TIOCSCTTY).
