Define __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG so that old autoconfiguration
interfaces are used, until drivers are converted to use the new
interfaces (actually, converted back to use the _older_ interfaces)
which prohibit indirect configuration devices from receiving a softc
in their match routine that they can share with their attach routine.

define match functions to take a struct cfdata * as their second
argument, config_search() to take a struct cfdata * as its second
argument, and config_{root,}search() to return struct cfdata *.

remove config_scan().
remove config_make_softc() as a seperate function, reintegrating
its functionality into config_attach().
Ports will define __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG until their drivers prototypes
are updated to work with the new definitions, and until it is sure that
their indirect-config drivers do not assume that they have a softc

the client and server/shared data initialization into separate functions,
and calling the server/shared initialization directly from main().
Problem noted in PR #1308 (Kenneth Stailey) and PR #1780 (Chris Demetriou).
Fix suggested in PR #1780 by Chris Demetriou, and munged a bit by me,
and OK'd by Frank van der Linden <fvdl@netbsd.org>.
Improve the queuing algorithms used by NFS' asynchronous i/o. The
existing mechanism uses a global queue for some buffers and the
vp->b_dirtyblkhd queue for others. This turns sequential writes into
randomly ordered writes to the server, affecting both read and write
performance. The existing mechanism also copes badly with hung
servers, tending to block accesses to other servers when all the iods
are waiting for a hung server.
The new mechanism uses a queue for each mount point. All asynchronous
i/o goes through this queue which preserves the ordering of requests.
A simple mechanism ensures that the iods are shared out fairly between
active mount points.
