by RAIDframe. Convert all other RAIDframe global pools to use pools
defined within this new structure.
- Introduce rf_pool_init(), used for initializing a single pool in
RAIDframe. Teach each of the configuration routines to use
rf_pool_init().
- Cleanup a few pool-related comments.
- Cleanup revent initialization and #defines.
- Add a missing pool_destroy() for the reconbuffer pool.
(Saves another 1K off of an i386 GENERIC kernel, and makes
stuff a lot more readable)

rf_AllocBuffer() is available, so use it to get buffer space instead
of the previous RF_Malloc() bits. Saves a few bytes, but more
importantly makes the code much more readable.
- introduce RF_MIN_*'s, as necessary. These will indicate the
low-water mark for pools as well as the pool_prime() value.
- add pool_setlowat() for the critical pools.
- pool_prime() and pool_setlowat() the raidframe_cbufpool.
- re-order some pool_prime()'s and pool_sethiwat()'s for clarity.
This removes 3 more RF_PANIC()'s (but we'll currently still panic if any of these cases occur).
fix up a few printf's.
XXX: still needs more cleanup and testing (and be taught to not panic).
- remove callbackArg2 from RF_CallbackDesc_s -- it is only ever set,
never read.
- now that this is done, all callbacks should only take a single argument,
and we can simplify things further.
- change function signature of rf_LookupRUStatus(). The last argument
is now a pointer to a new PSS, in case one is needed. Rather than
having rf_LookupRUStatus() allocate a new PSS, we pre-allocate one
beforehand, where necessary, just in case.
- change callers of rf_lookupRUStatus() to deal with the new way of
calling rf_lookupRUStatus().
[no improvement or worsening of parity rebuild/initialization performance.]
[For the record: The mcpair mutex is being used to protect mcpair->flag.
mcpair gets allocated before each call to rf_DispatchDAG(), so there is no
other process/thread that could be mucking with it. It is only used to
detect the completion of a given parity unit, and rf_DispatchDAG()
only uses it to setup the callback argument for rf_MCPairWakeupFunc()
which will be called when the IO completes. The code after the call
to rf_DispatchDAG() sits and waits for a 'wakeup' on mcpair->cond
(rf_MCPairWakeupFunc() does that). If mcpair->flag is 0 when
rf_DispatchDAG() completes, then rf_MCPairWakeupFunc() hasn't been
called yet (the IO hasn't completed). If it is 1, then the IO is
already done, and we continue on our merry way without sleeping.
Thus, we don't need to hold any lock on mcpair while calling
rf_DispatchDAG().]
