- remove the support of variable-sized filehandle from compat version of
syscalls. (strictly speaking, it breaks abi. i don't think it's a problem
because this feature is short-lived and there are no affected in-tree
filesystems.)
- unify vfs_copyinfh_alloc and vfs_copyinfh_alloc_size.
- vfs_copyinfh_alloc_size: check fhsize strictly.
- reduce code duplication between compat and current syscalls.
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of EAFNOSUPPORT.
from pavel@ with a little bit of clean up from myself.
XXX: netbsd32 (and perhaps other emulations) should be able
XXX: to call the standard socket calls for this i think, but
XXX: revisit this at another time.
- 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)

will change "struct ntptimeval", so some translation would be necessary.
ntp_gettine is considered dispensable, the only userland program known
to use it is "ntptime".
- proc_is_traced_p() -> trace_is_enabled(), to match trace_enter() and
trace_exit().
- trace_is_enabled() becomes a real function.
- Remove unnecessary include files from various files that used to care
about KTRACE and SYSTRACE, but do no more.
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
