Added a new type to uiomove - "UIO_NOCOPY" which causes it to update
pointers and counts, but doesn't do any data copying. This is needed
for upcoming changes to the way that the vnode pager does its page
outs.
Added a new hash init function call "phashinit" that allocates and
initializes a prime number sized hash table.
vfs_cache.c:
Changed hashing algorithm to use the remainder of dividing by a prime
number to improve the distribution characteristcs. Uses new phashinit
function in kern_subr.c.
#179). The fix implements a ttyhalfclose() (sort of), resetting the
session and pgrp pointers when the physical device is about to be
closed.

1) Preserve old buffer contents when input buffer overflows.
Old code clear buffer and rewrite it again, if !MAXBEL
(for MAXBEL it does right thing :-).
F.e. if you type too long string, last chars passed,
not first ones as expected.
Moreover, it flush output queue too in this case without any needs.
2) Don't do IXOFF, if IGNCR and c==\r, ignore completely.
3) If PARMRK is active and !ISTRIP and char == 0377
put yet one 0377 to distinguish it from parity mark sequence.
POSIX standard (thanx Bruce).

merged cache changes, and figure it out based on the B_VMIO buffer flag.
Fixes a problem where delayed write VMIO buffers would sometimes get
recopied into kernel-alloced memory.

- ignore the partition table if it is identical with the bogus one in
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/start.S. Honoring the bogus size
field was fatal. The error is detected but other compatibilty
cruft weakens the error handling too much for this case.
- weaken the partition entry checking to allow the following treatments
of C/H/S addresses when C should be >= 1024:
(1) allow C = 1023, H = max, S = max.
(2) allow C to be correct modulo 1024.
Other compatibilty cruft weakens the error handling to allow all
C/H/S addresses, but there too many errors were reported.
Improve error messages:
- print C/H/S addresses if relevant.
- distinguish primary partition table from extended partition tables.
- don't use diskerr() except for i/o errors.
to the user address space unless pcb_onfault is set. The code is currently
commented out because iBCS2 and process debugging parts of the kernel
need to be changed/fixed first.
It was previously after the VOP_RENAME and the reference and lock on
the vnode had already been lost, allowing interesting internel
inconsistencies. This is one of the two reasons why freefall was crashing
every hour or two (the other being nullfs bugs).
Don't call vnode_pager_uncache in revoke(). revoke() is only allowed on
VCHR and VBLK vnodes.
now returns NULL and sets a global 'mb_map_full' when the map is full.
m_clalloc() has further been taught to expect this and do the right thing.
This should fix the "mb_map full" panics that several people have reported.

Clean up and improve the namecache.
1. We always keep one 16th of the vnodes on the freelist, so that the
namecache doesn't get trashed. It used to be that it wasn't a problem, but
the only vnodes getting released these days are directories and things which
gets forced out of the VM/cache. The latter is not numerous enough to keep
the pool of vnodes needed for the namecache sufficiently big.
2. Purge invalid entries in the namecache as soon as we notice them. This
avoids a stale entry pushing out a valid entry on the LRU list.
3. Speed up the lookup in the namecache by avoid a special case branch.
4. Make the cache purge routines do the thing they're supposed to, and in
a decently efficient manner.
5. Make the size of the namecache follow the number of vnodes, so that we
can always point to all the vnodes we have in core.
6. Readability has gone way up.
7. Added a "options NCH_STATISTICS" feature that will gather more
detailed statistics on the performance of the namecache.
