e4331a8c29 Document Jonathan Mini's sysctl locking work. I'm not sure I understand 
exactly what MEMLOCK() protects, so there should really be more comments
in kern_sysctl.c.  Once they're there, I'll update the task.

Document Jake's addition of a userland tool to manage KTR event dumps.

6b9a222fae Update SMP page for mutex profiling task, currently being worked on 
by eivind and des.  Add entities for them.  While I'm there, add a
task for expanding the profiling tool to include sx locks, since we'll
want to be able to measure that sort of lock contention also.

168bb5b4ff Add tasks for introducing the slab allocator with per-cpu caches, and 
for pushing down Giant on malloc()/free().  The first of these has been
completed by Jeff Roberson as part of the recent UMA commit, and the
second is a work-in-progress by Jeff (he has a remaining Witness warning
to clear up before it's done).

3f1652ed0c Various task updates relating to VM locking task: 
- Break out lockmgr exclusive and sx/mutex tasks from one another, and
  leave the original (completed) movement of mutex pool initialization
  task as it's own thing.

- Create the task for moving to purely exclusive locks in VM rather than
  lockmgr shared locks.  This task will involve implementation, then testing
  to see if it actually hurts.  If this is possible, it will greatly
  simplify the transition to new locking primitives.  Assign this to
  green since he's expressed willingness to work on it.

- Create the task for moving from lockmgr to either mutexes or exclusive
  sxlocks for VM.  At that point, it should be possible to start pushing
  Giant down into VM somewhere, subject to lack of locking for a few
  primitives that will still require it, and for VFS/pmap interactions.
