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.
vfs_busy'ing just before the dounmount() call. This is to avoid
sleeping with the mountlist_slock held -- but we must acquire
syncer_lock before vfs_busy because the syncer itself uses
syncer_lock -> vfs_busy locking order.
only signal handler array sharable between threads
move other random signal stuff from struct proc to struct sigctx

client programs are allowed to finish up (coda_call is
forced to complete) and release their locks. Thus there
is a reasonable chance that the vflush implicit in the
unmount will not get hung on held locks.
