because it only takes a struct tag which makes it impossible to
use unions, typedefs etc.
Define __offsetof() in <machine/ansi.h>
Define offsetof() in terms of __offsetof() in <stddef.h> and <sys/types.h>
Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.
Remove includes of <stddef.h> in kernel code.
NB: Kernelcode should *never* include from /usr/include !
Make <sys/queue.h> include <machine/ansi.h> to avoid polluting the API.
Deprecate <struct.h> with a warning. The warning turns into an error on

to accomodate the changes.
Here's a list of things that have changed (I may have left out a few); for a
relatively complete list, see http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal
* Remove old (once useful) mcluster code for MCLBYTES > PAGE_SIZE which
nobody uses anymore. It was great while it lasted, but now we're moving
onto bigger and better things (Approved by: wollman).
* Practically re-wrote the allocation macros in sys/sys/mbuf.h to accomodate
new allocations which grab the necessary lock.
* Make sure that necessary mbstat variables are manipulated with
corresponding atomic() routines.
* Changed the "wait" routines, cleaned it up, made one routine that does
the job.
* Generalized MWAKEUP() macro. Got rid of m_retry and m_retryhdr, as they
are now included in the generalized "wait" routines.
* Sleep routines now use msleep().
* Free lists have locks.
* etc... probably other stuff I'm missing...
Things to look out for and work on later:
* find a better way to (dynamically) adjust EXT_COUNTERS
* move necessity to recurse on a lock from drain routines by providing
lock-free lower-level version of MFREE() (and possibly m_free()?).
* checkout include of mutex.h in sys/sys/mbuf.h - probably violating
general philosophy here.

that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

<sys/bio.h>.
<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.
Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.
Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

Remove evil allocation macros from machdep.c (why was that there???) and
use malloc() instead.
Move paramters out of param.h and into the code itself.
Move a bunch of internal definitions from public sys/*.h headers (without
#ifdef _KERNEL even) into the code itself.
I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing
wakeups on all sleeping processes on old arrays was too frightening.
The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.

Vinum untouched. This means that it cannot be compiled.
Greg Lehey is on the case.

Move B_ORDERED flag to b_ioflags and call it BIO_ORDERED.
Move b_pblkno and b_iodone_chain to struct bio while we transition, they

Add bio_queue field for struct bio aware disksort.

Also move SHMMAXPGS from $machine/include/vmparam.h as the comments that
went with it were wrong... we don't allocate KVM space for the pages so
that comment is bogus.. The only practical limit is how much physical
ram you want to lock up as this stuff isn't paged out or swap backed.
field in struct buf: b_iocmd. The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.
B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.
Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.
Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.
This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.
A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)
