Matthew Dillon 4f79d873c1 Add MAP_NOSYNC feature to mmap(), and MADV_NOSYNC and MADV_AUTOSYNC to
madvise().

    This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
    dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory.  The
    system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
    will still be fully coherent with the filesystem.  Modifications made
    by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
    unaffected.  The feature works on a page-granularity basis.

    MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
    without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
    the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

Poul-Henning Kamp 9b962c56a4 General clean-up of socket.h and associated sources to synchronise up

This updates some structures with other, almost equivalent types and
effort is under way to get the whole more consistent.

Also removes a double definition of INET6 and some other clean-ups.

Bruce Evans 176ef327fa Fixed $Id$.
Removed POSIX.1/NetBSD markup (braces) for NAME_MAX, etc.  We don't
define this.  Most FreeBSD man pages hard-code the limits; in fact,
utimes.2 recently became the only file in libc/sys/*.2 that mentions
NAME_MAX.  There probably should be mandoc macros for this.
