is now synchronized by a mutex, whereas access to user maps is still
synchronized by a lockmgr()-based lock. Why? No single type of lock,
including sx locks, meets the requirements of both types of vm map.
Sometimes we sleep while holding the lock on a user map. Thus, a
a mutex isn't appropriate. On the other hand, both lockmgr()-based
and sx locks release Giant when a thread/process blocks during
contention for a lock. This could lead to a race condition in a legacy
driver (that relies on Giant for synchronization) if it attempts to
kmem_malloc() and fails to immediately obtain the lock. Fortunately,
we never sleep while holding a system map lock.

Note that flood ping tests indicate ppsratecheck is inaccurate (but on the
conservative side) with this revised implementation. If more accuracy is
needed we'll have to introduce an alternate interface or increase the

Use BUS_SPACE_MAXSIZE_32BIT for the parent dma tags, and

were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a "copy" operation. This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain. This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.
These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block. This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.
Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them. We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.
Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.
