  Modified files:
    sys/sys              conf.h 
    sys/fs/specfs        spec_vnops.c 
  Log:
  Add a D_NOGIANT flag which can be set in a struct cdevsw to indicate
  that a particular device driver is not Giant-challenged.
  
  SPECFS will DROP_GIANT() ... PICKUP_GIANT() around calls to the
  driver in question.
  
  Notice that the interrupt path is not affected by this!
  
  This does _NOT_ work for drivers accessed through cdevsw->d_strategy()
  ie drivers for disk(-like), some tapes, maybe others.
