to use polling locks against buffers that they may already
hold exclusively locked.

semantics. That is, all buffer locking is done with LK_EXCLUSIVE
requests. Changes to take advantage of LK_SHARED and LK_RECURSIVE will
be done in future commits.
space. When doing this, it is possible to for another process to attempt
to get an exclusive lock on the vnode and deadlock the mmap/read
combination when the uiomove() call tries to obtain a second
shared lock on the vnode. There is still a potential deadlock
situation with write()/mmap().

for the lock manager code has not changed, but the underlying implementation
has changed significantly. This change should not materially affect
our current SMP or UP code without non-standard parameters being used.
