    hammer2 - Revamp flush and xopq mechanism, stabilization
    
    * Originally the xopq mechanism was meant to allow multiple worker
      threads to share the same queue in a NxM configuration, but for
      all intents and purposes we changed to a one-queue-per-thread
      mechanic.  Formalize this by associating the queue directly with
      the thread structure.
    
    * Separate out strategy-related XOPs from vnop-related XOPs, using half
      the worker threads for strategy XOPs and the other half for vnop XOPs.
      This fixes at least one deadlock which could occur if a strategy XOP
      was queued after a vnop on the same worker thread.  Since the
      buffers related to the strategy XOP were locked, it could prevent
      the vnop ahead of it from being able to execute.
    
    * Cleanup the xopq sleep/wakeup mechanism and also fix a 30-60 second
      stall when a xop-xop dependency is present on the same queue.  The
      clearing of the older xop was not waking up the worker thread.
    
    * Revamp the transaction code, putpages via UIO_NOCOPY vop_write's,
      and vop_strategy, to allow all buffer-cache-related I/Os to execute
      concurrent with a flush.  This fixes several deadlocks and long stalls
      that could occur during flushes.  Nominal modifying vnops will still
      interlock with flushes, for now.
    
    * Remove the PREFLUSH flag, it is no longer relevant.
    
    * NOTE - Flush code probably doesn't completely handle modifying races
      yet and needs more work.  However, such races should be restricted to
      buffer-cache-related I/Os only and thus it should be possible to
      interlock them on an inode-by-inode basis.
