- Introduce MSG_NBIO so that we can turn non blocking i/o on a per call basis
- Use MSG_NBIO to fix the XXX: multi-threaded issues on the fifo sockets.
- Don't set SO_CANTRCVMORE, if we were interrupted (perhaps do it for all
errors?).
- Socket layer becomes MP safe.
- Unix protocols become MP safe.
- Allows protocol processing interrupts to safely block on locks.
- Fixes a number of race conditions.
With much feedback from matt@ and plunky@.
As an interim measure while the netiso code is being converted to
use queue(3) macros, define and use our own private equivalent
functions iso_insque/iso_remque.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
Return ENOPROTOOPT rather than picking pseudo-random error values.
Restructure *_ctloutput() functions to match other protocols.
iso_ifreq and SIOC*_ISO are no longer needed; use the standard versions.
