o Restructure vaccess() so as to check for DAC permission to modify the
object before falling back on privilege. Make vaccess() accept an
additional optional argument, privused, to determine whether
privilege was required for vaccess() to return 0. Add commented
out capability checks for reference. Rename some variables to make
it more clear which modes/uids/etc are associated with the object,
and which with the access mode.
o Update file system use of vaccess() to pass NULL as the optional
privused argument. Once additional patches are applied, suser()
will no longer set ASU, so privused will permit passing of
privilege information up the stack to the caller.

Separate the struct bio related stuff out of <sys/buf.h> into

<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.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Add a few fields to struct specinfo, paving the way for the fun part.

Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).

was fixed in ufs long ago (rev.1.21 of ufs_readwrite.c) but not

cd9660_read() has stagnated in many other ways. It is closer to
the Net/2 ufs_read() (which is was cloned from) than ufs_read()
itself is.

4. Add vop_stdpathconf, which returns the canonical stuff. Use
it in the filesystems. (XXX: It's probably wrong that specfs
and fifofs sets this vop, shouldn't it come from the "host"
filesystem, for instance ufs or cd9660 ?)

2. Change VOP_BLKATOFF to a normal function in cd9660.

3. Kill VOP_BLKATOFF, VOP_TRUNCATE, VOP_VFREE, VOP_VALLOC. These
are private interface functions between UFS and the underlying
storage manager layer (FFS/LFS/MFS/EXT2FS). The functions now
live in struct ufsmount instead.

4. Remove a kludge of VOP_ functions in all filesystems, that did
nothing but obscure the simplicity and break the expandability.
If a filesystem doesn't implement VOP_FOO, it shouldn't have an
entry for it in its vnops table. The system will try to DTRT
if it is not implemented. There are still some cruft left, but
the bulk of it is done.
