process context to reduce the risk of later interrupt-context
M_NOWAIT allocations failing, but in fact this code can be called
from contexts where it is not desirable to sleep (e.g. if_start
routines), so it causes lots of witness "could sleep" warnings.

Label IP fragment reassembly queues, permitting security features to
be maintained on those objects. ipq_label will be used to manage
the reassembly of fragments into IP datagrams using security
properties. This permits policies to deny the reassembly of fragments,
as well as influence the resulting label of a datagram following
reassembly.

Label socket IPC objects, permitting security features to be maintained
at the granularity of the socket. Two labels are stored for each
socket: the label of the socket itself, and a cached peer label
permitting interogation of the remote endpoint. Since socket locking
is not yet present in the base tree, these objects are not locked,
but are assumed to follow the same semantics as other modifiable
entries in the socket structure.

Label process credentials, permitting security information to be
maintained at the granularity of processes and cached credential

other interesting entries in struct ucred, failing to use the
documented credential management APIs (such as crcopy, crdup, ...)
can result in data corruption or incorrect behavior.

Introduce two node vnode operations required to support MAC. First,
VOP_REFRESHLABEL(), which will be invoked by callers requiring that
vp->v_label be sufficiently "fresh" for access control purposes.
Second, VOP_SETLABEL(), which be invoked by callers requiring that
the passed label contents be updated. The file system is responsible
for updating v_label if appropriate in coordination with the MAC
framework, as well as committing to disk. File systems that are
not MAC-aware need not implement these VOPs, as the MAC framework
will default to maintaining a single label for all vnodes based
on the label on the file system mount point.

Label vnodes, permitting security information to maintained at the
granularity of the individual file, directory (et al). This data is
protected by the vnode lock and may be read only when holding a shared
lock, or modified only when holding an exclusive lock. Label

copy. Individual file systems or kernel services may use the
VCACHEDLABEL flag for accounting purposes to determine which it is.
New VOPs will be introduced to refresh this label on demand, or to
set the label value.

While I don't think this is the best solution, it certainly is the
fastest and in trying to find bottlenecks in network related code
I want this out of the way, so that I don't have to think about it.
What this means, for mbuf clusters anyway is:
- one less malloc() to do for every cluster allocation (replaced with
a relatively quick calculation + assignment)
- no more free() in the cluster free case (replaced with empty space) :-)
This can offer a substantial throughput improvement, but it may not for
all cases. Particularly noticable for larger buffer sends/recvs.
See http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/code/measure2.txt for a rough

special actions for safety. One of these is to make sure that file descriptors
0..2 are in use, by opening /dev/null for those that are not already open.
Another is to close any file descriptors 0..2 that reference procfs. However,
these checks were made out of order, so that it was still possible for a
set-user-ID or set-group-ID process to be started with some of the file
descriptors 0..2 unused.

is that some cards built around fm801 chip have the same device ID, only
have radio tuner onboard, but no sound capabilities. Therefore, with such
card inserted and `device pcm' in kernel the user has a big problem, as
the fm801 driver effectively hangs the machine when trying to initialise
nonexistent ac97 codecs (it does 500 retries with 1 second interval!).
It would be better if MediaForte's engeneers were smart enough to put
different device ID into such cards, but it isn't an option.
