Use the module subsystem's ability to process SYSCTL_SETUP() entries to
automate installation of sysctl nodes.

Note that there are still a number of device and pseudo-device modules
that create entries tied to individual device units, rather than to the
module itself. These are not changed.

Use specfs vnops for specnodes in kernfs.

While here, don't filter out rootdev and rrootdev merely because
they're not cached.

Fixes the elusive /kern/rootdev and /kern/rrootdev nodes, which only
appeared sometimes when they felt like it, and fixes operations on
/kern/rootdev and /kern/rrootdev always returning EOPNOTSUPP.

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.

New file system suspension API to replace vn_start_write and vn_finished_write.
The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.

Implemented for file systems of type ffs.

The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.

Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.

Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
