- Lock processes, credentials, filehead etc correctly.
- Acquire a read hold on sysctl_treelock if only doing a query.
- Don't wire down the output buffer. It doesn't work correctly and the code
regularly does long term sleeps with it held - it's not worth it.
- Don't hold locks other than sysctl_lock while doing copyout().
- Drop sysctl_lock while doing copyout / allocating memory in a few places.
- Don't take kernel_lock for sysctl.
- Fix a number of bugs spotted along the way
Add if_set_sadl() that both sets the link-layer address length and
replaces the current link-layer address with a new one, and use it
throughout the tree.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

Again, this was tested by comparing obj files from a pristine and a patched
source tree against an i386/ALL kernel, and also for src/sbin/fsck_ffs,
src/sbin/fsdb and src/usr.sbin/makefs. Only changes in assert() line numbers
were detected in 'objdump -d' output.
1. sys/compat/ndis/files.ndis
-needed to compile sys/compat/ndis into the kernel
2. sys/compat/ndis/nbcompat.h
-Various macros, typedefs, etc. needed for NetBSD
3. sys/compat/ndis/nbcompat.c
-A few function definitions needed for NetBSD. Mainly functions
available in the FreeBSD kernel, but not in NetBSD.
arch/i386/conf/GENERIC, arch/i386/conf/files.i386 and dev/pci/files.pci which
can simply be uncommented to compile NDIS into the kernel. I'll write some
documentation on this soon.
Note that NDIS is still somewhat experimental. It is currently tested and
functions relatively well on on two cards:
1. Dell (Broadcom) TrueMobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI
2. Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
