Module procfs needs ptrace_common for process_do{,fp}regs

Do not uselessly include <sys/malloc.h>.

Try not to use f_data, use f_{vnode,socket,pipe,mqueue,kqueue,ksem} to get
a correctly typed pointer.

Change procfs from hashlist to vcache.
- Key is (type, pid, fd)
- Remove argument "p" from procfs_allocvp(). It is only used
when "type == PFSfd". Lookup the proc with proc_find() when

Change procfs from hashlist to vcache.
- Key is (type, pid, fd)
- Remove argument "p" from procfs_allocvp(). It is only used
when "type == PFSfd". Lookup the proc with proc_find() when
procfs_loadvnode() needs it.
- Use a vfs_vnode_iterator for procfs_revoke_vnodes().

Change all vfsops to use C99 designated initializers.

No functional changes intended.

the sysctl link sets are processed, and remove redundancy.

Welcome to 6.99.31

- Replace some malloc(9) uses with kmem(9).
- G/C M_IPMOPTS, M_IPMADDR and M_BWMETER.

define PROCFS_MAXNAMLEN and use it.

Introduce genfs_statvfs() as pretty much a no-info statvfs and
convert several pseudo file systems to use it.

Put procfs policy back in the subsystem.

ansify function definitions

Change about 4500 of the K&R function definitions to ANSI ones.
There are still about 1600 left, but they have ',' or /* ... */
in the actual variable definitions - which my awk script doesn't handle

There are still about 1600 left, but they have ',' or /* ... */

There are also many that need () -> (void).
(The script does handle misordered arguments.)

Create sysctl entries during module initialisation and destroy them
appropriately.

Many of these file systems are now ready for modularisation.

mnt_data is a pointer, set it to NULL not 0 when we're finished with it.

Convert file systems to dynamically attach with the new module interface.

Convert file systems to dynamically attach with the new module interface.
Make VFS hooks dynamic while we're here and say farewell to VFS_ATTACH and
VFS_HOOKS_ATTACH linksets.

As a consequence, most of the file systems can now be loaded as new style
modules.

Change the VFS_MOUNT() interface so that the 'data' buffer passed to the
fs code is a kernel buffer, pass though the length of the buffer as well.
Since the length of the userspace buffer isn'it (yet) passed through the mount
system call, add a field to the vfsops structure containing the default length.
Split sys_mount() for calls from compat code.
Ride one of the recent kernel version changes - old fs LKMs will load, but
sys_mount() will reject any attempt to use them.
