9e7e6f4f60 Move kernel linker locking task from WIP to Done, thanks to 
<arr@FreeBSD.org>.  Another module locked down and (assuming no bugs
crop up :-)) completed!

00620ee7fa Add a task to replace the shared/exclusive locking scheme in the VM 
system with a simple exclusive locking scheme, avoiding livelock and
deadlock scenarios using the new locking primitives, per Matt Dillon's
description on freebsd-current.

3331f70c3b Correctly reference the freebsd.css file on second level pages. 
Previously, this stylesheet was incorrectly referenced so user agents
would ignore it, but Apache logs would be spammed with freebsd.css not
found errors.

This is deliberately not connected to the build, as Robert still may
have some updates to add before we make this public.

b3110732c7 Update SMPng task list 
- Alfred has pushed down Giant for a number of fd-related operations,
  including read/write/pread/pwrite, +other consumers into the per-subsystem
  fileop code.  Record this as done.

- Add a task to push down Giant for the remaining such calls, including
  readv/writev which currently still require Giant for memory management
  in handling struct iovec arrays.  Record this as un-owned.

fa0cfd764f Seperate the VOP_GETATTR shared task into: 
- VOP_GETATTR() change to shared locks + namei() updates to support this
- General VFS assertion review and corrections

Move the first to the WIP section, since Jeff Roberson just committed
supporting infrastructure for this in the form of namei's LOCKSHARED.

Leave the second in the New section.

02d90ad480 Add an entry for on-going selinfo locking work by Alfred and Chad. This 
work pushes the selinfo structure under a seperate lock and allows
select-related behavior to be pushed out from under Giant.  Patches
were recently posted to freebsd-smp, so make it a WIP.

Add an entity for Chad since he didn't have one already.

66e3b60435 jhb pointed out that tanimura is working on patches to protect p_fd, 
which is currently not protected yet used outside of Giant due to
the struct filedesc pushdown.  While a sub-set of the overall proc locking
task, this appears to be seperable, and in progress, so break it out
into its own task with responsible of 'tanimura'.  Currently, there
can be panics under high load with a corrupted p_fd as a result of this
lack of locking.
