Should fix PR #45829: "writing to vnd on sparse file blocks on pager_map"
where the pager_map gets exhausted by requests enqueued on a vnd
device and the device worker thread blocks on putpages() needing the map.
While here always sync the underlying vnode before calling biodone().
XXX: vnd should be converted to mutex/condvar.
- Make the strategy decision a device flag and set VNF_USE_VN_RDWR for
files known to be sparse.
- Change handle_with_rdwr() to use POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE advise to disable
read ahead and keep the size of mapped pages below 1 MByte.
No objections on tech-kern@.

Also, merge UCB and Utah copyright texts back into one, as they
originally were.

64 bit integers (eg, sparc). the problem was that the new 64 bit
element on the end was used for the offsetof() (aka size) for the old
structure, but this includes the padding required, thus the ioctl number
was set wrongly.
move all the supporting code for this inside COMPAT_50, with some renaming
to suit, and kill all the external definitions related to it.
tested on i386, amd64 and sparc.
which grew since netbsd 5.0 (hi christos!)
fix a few issues/problems:
- the COMPAT_30 code wasn't used since opt_compat_netbsd.h wasn't included
- move 'struct vnd_ouser' (for COMPAT_30) into vnd.c itself, and call it
'struct vnd_user30'
- same for VNDIOOCGET -> VNDIOCGET30
now 'vnconfig -l' works on -current with a netbsd-5 binary, using i386.
XXX: there is still a potential problem with the old VNDIOOCSET and
VNDIOOCCLR macros on some platforms like sparc. there is padding
between the old vnd_osize member and the new vnd_size member on
platforms that want 64 bit values 64 bit aligned, but are 32 bit
otherwise (like sparc.) 64 bit systems already end up with this
member 64 bit aligned, and should be fine.
this most likely results in the old ioctl numbers being wrong and
the code won't match/run ever (ENOTTY.)
compatibility. Both fields are now unsigned.
Add compatibility for the old ioctl size.
Detect and error files which are definitely sparse (va_bytes < va_size).
Part of fix for PR/41873.
- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
allows the strategy routine to be called from interrupt context, fixes
PR kern/29775 by Juan RP.
Now that pool_get() is only called from thread context, change PR_NOWAIT to
PR_WAITOK. Fix PR kern/26272 by Juergen Hannken-Illjes.

disk is still in use.
Not for everyday use, but we have to face eg USB flash drives being
unplugged at the wrong time, and this is a way to simulate this without
wearing out the connectors.
by which files (hmm...why can't I unmount that file system over
there). Currently this is just the device and inode number of the
file backing the vnd, but hopefully consing up full pathnames can be
done at some point.
- guard against synchronous I/O completion
- avoid race conditions
- use bgetvp/brelvp to properly maintain the vnode holdcount
and clean/dirty buffer lists.
greater flexibility in its use. Additionally, add support for "geometry
emulation". This allows the "geometry" of the "disk" to be specified
at config time, providing near-perfect emulation of disklabel-less floppies,
CD-ROMs, etc., including non-512-byte sectors. If a geometry is not
specified at config time, a default based on 1M cylinders will be used.
