Module Name:    src
Committed By:   pgoyette
Date:           Sat Aug 21 13:17:32 UTC 2010

Modified Files:
        src/share/man/man9: module.9
        src/sys/conf: files
        src/sys/kern: init_main.c kern_module.c
        src/sys/sys: module.h param.h systm.h
Added Files:
        src/sys/kern: kern_cfglock.c

Log Message:
Define a set of new kernel locking primitives to implement the recursive
kernconfig_mutex.  Update module subsystem to use this mutex rather than
its own internal (non-recursive) mutex.  Make module_autoload() do its
own locking to be consistent with the rest of the module_xxx() calls.
Update module(9) man page appropriately.

As discussed on tech-kern over the last few weeks.
