Convert simplelock to mutex in this portion of dmover(4).

Add #include <sys/simplelock.h>

Use the softint API.

Don't require that input buffers and output buffers be of the same
type.

dmover(9) -- an interface to hardware-assisted data movers. This allows
clients to use a hardware-assisted data mover to clear a region of memory,
fill a region of memory with a specific value, copy a region of memory,
and perform simple boolean operations such as XOR on multiple regions
of memory.

Included here is a software back-end which can serve as an example of
how to write a back-end (and also provides a fall-back in case hardware
for a given function is not available), as well as a dmoverio(4) pseudo-
device which provides access to dmover(9) to userland via a message
passing interface.

dmover(9) is still a work-in-progress -- a few minor changes to the
interface are expected.
