darrenr 960df3c8d1 Pass lwp pointers throughtout the kernel, as required, so that the lwpid can
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

gehenna 77a6b82b27 Merge the gehenna-devsw branch into the trunk.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).

- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.

- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.

	device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]

- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
  by using this grammer.

- Added the new naming convention.
  The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
  of device switch tables.

- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
  switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
  from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.

- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
  We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.

- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
  the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.

christos 5d823a2299 Start of mi /dev/{mem,kmem,zero,null} driver. We add an ioctl entry, because
we don't want to throw an error when FIONBIO is requested. We also allow
FIOASYNC clear.
