On Alan's advice, rather than do a wholesale conversion on a single
architecture from page queue lock to a hashed array of page locks
(based on a patch by Jeff Roberson), I've implemented page lock
support in the MI code and have only moved vm_page's hold_count
out from under page queue mutex to page lock. This changes
pmap_extract_and_hold on all pmaps.

Update to current version of head.

- Merge soft-updates journaling from projects/suj/head into head. This
brings in support for an optional intent log which eliminates the need
for background fsck on unclean shutdown.

MFC r205860,206097: correctly set b_offset for getblk(devvp)

Merge svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/head@206571

bo_bsize: revert r205860 and take an alternative approch in getblk

In r205860 I missed the fact that there is code that strongly assumes
that devvp bo_bsize is equal to underlying provider's sectors

bo_bsize: revert r205860 and take an alternative approch in getblk

In r205860 I missed the fact that there is code that strongly assumes
that devvp bo_bsize is equal to underlying provider's sectorsize.
In those places it is hard to obtain the sectorsize in an alternative
way if devvp bo_bsize is set to something else.
So, I am reverting bo_bsize assigment in g_vfs_open.
Instead, in getblk I use DEV_BSIZE block size for b_offset calculation
if vp is a disk vp as reported by vn_isdisk. This should coinside with
vp being a devvp.

When buffer write is failed, it is wrong for brelse() to invalidate

Move another comment to its proper place. Fix a typo in a third comment.

nfs_write() can use the recently introduced vfs_bio_set_valid() instead of

Modify vm_hold_load_pages() to allocate pages using VM_ALLOC_NOOBJ rather
than using the kernel object. This allows the elimination of page queues
locking from vm_hold_free_pages().

fail(9) support:

Add support for kernel fault injection using KFAIL_POINT_* macros and
fail_point_* infrastructure. Add example fail point in vfs_bio.c to
simulate VM buf pressure.

Eliminate page queues locking from bufdone_finish() through the
following changes:

Rename vfs_page_set_valid() to vfs_page_set_validclean() to reflect
what this function actually does. Suggested by: tegge

Introduce a new version of vfs_page_set_valid() that does no more than
what the function's name implies. Specifically, it does not update
the page's dirty mask, and thus it does not require the page queues
lock to be held.

Update two of the three callers to the old vfs_page_set_valid() to
call vfs_page_set_validclean() instead because they actually require
the page's dirty mask to be cleared.

Introduce vm_page_set_valid().

Revert CVS revision 1.94 (svn r16840). Current pmap implementations don't
suffer from the race condition that motivated revision 1.94. Consequently,
the work-around that was implemented by revision 1.94 is no longer needed.
Moreover, reverting this work-around eliminates the need for
vfs_busy_pages() to acquire the page queues lock when preparing a buffer
for read.
