    sysctl - SMP performance work
    
    Performance work on the sysctl API.  Most accesses (including nearly all
    accesses made by libc) now use a shared lock, increasing concurrency in the
    exec path.
    
    * Acquire the sysctl global lock shared instead of exclusive for all normal
      accesses.  Use an exclusive lock for node and leaf creation or deletion.
      Ultimately we will move to a fine-grained model and remove the global lock.
    
    * Give each oid its own lockmgr lock.  Automatically acquire this lock
      shared for read access and exclusive for write access.  This retains
      just enough serialization of modifying (individual) sysctls to make
      sense to programmers.
    
    * Supply flag overrides to force shared or exclusive use.  Force a shared
      oid lock for name2oid(), allowing the sysctlbyname() path to nominally
      use a shared lock.
