stop using mquery(2) inside realloc(3)

If you try to grow a 'large' (at least half a page) allocation with realloc(3), it'll try to extend the memory mapping for it and if that works it won't need to move it. Currently, it does that by using mquery(2) to see if that area is available and if so then trying to mmap it, munmaping it

eliminate use of fseek(3) inside libc

fseek(3) is implemented by just calling fseeko(3), the POSIX addition version that takes an off_t instead of a long: int fseek(FILE *fp, long offset, int whence) { return (fseeko(fp, offset, whence)); } ...so there's no reason for libc to be using fseek() internally, as that just loses

use timeout for rttimer

This diff replaces most of the rttimer with a timeout(9) call. Instead of running a 1 second timer all the time it runs idividual timeouts for each rttimer object. rt_timer_remove_all() needs to be careful to not remove the rttimer object while the timeout callback is running or up to be run. It

Lock kernel in nfsrv_rcv()

The NFS subsystem is not MP-safe yet. Take this into account in the NFS server socket upcall by locking the kernel. This might help with the NFS server hanging that was seen recently as a result of the now-reverted selwakeup()-to-KNOTE() conversion. Unfortunately, I have not been able to confirm

Picky, but much more efficient arc4random_uniform!

I made a couple new versions of a new kind of arc4random_uniform-like function and some example functions which use them. Instead of having a sufficiently large random number greater than the modulus, I pick a random number using arc4random() from a bitfield where the length of the bitfield is
