means we're in interrupt context. Since we can be called from a network
hardware interrupt, we could corrupt the protocol queues we try to drain
them at that time.
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the rest of the MI portion changes.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
external storage. Highlights:
- additional "void *" argument to (*ext_free)(), an opaque
cookie for use by the free function.
- MCLALLOC() and MCLFREE() calls are gone. They are replaced
by MEXTADD() (add external storage to mbuf), MEXTMALLOC()
(malloc() external storage and attach to mbuf), and
MEXTREMOVE() (remove external storage from mbuf).
- completely new external storage reference counting
mechanism; mclrefcnt[] is gone.
These changes will eventually be used to pass driver DMA buffers up
the network stack, and reduce/eliminate copies in certain code paths
(e.g. NFS writes).

and free some space by calling m_reclaim(). Also, log the "mb_map full"
error message (at most) every 60-seconds. The old code would log it
once over the lifetime of the system, but that's not a useful diagnostic.
(More useful is the new behaviour, which roughly indicates how often
periods of heavy load occur, without spamming the console and system
logs with messages.)
