Ensure that we don't use the first alternate superblock of a ffsv1
filesystem with 64k blocks (it is in the same place as an ffsv2 sb).

not being at 8k - causes all sorts of problems, in particular with
ffsv1 filessytems with 64k blocks, and disks that are reformatted from
ffsv1 to ffsv2 (and v.v.). see also PR kern/24809
VOP_STRATEGY(bp) is replaced by one of two new functions:
- VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp) Call the strategy routine of vp for bp.
- DEV_STRATEGY(bp) Call the d_strategy routine of bp->b_dev for bp.
DEV_STRATEGY(bp) is used only for block-to-block device situations.
suspending.
Move vfs_write_suspend() and vfs_write_resume() from kern/vfs_vnops.c
to kern/vfs_subr.c.
Change vnode write gating in ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c (from FreeBSD).
When vnodes are throttled in softdep_trackbufs() check for
file system suspension every 10 msecs to avoid a deadlock.
it can be used to clear the work queue.
Cleanup ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when MNT_WAIT
was specified. Clear the work queue when MNT_WAIT is specified.
Result is a clean on-disk file system after ffs_sync(.., MNT_WAIT, ..)

add compatibility for filesystems created before FFSv2 integration
these patches are from pr port-macppc/23926 and should also fix
problems discussed in pr kern/21404 and pr kern/21283
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
