devices. The implementation allows read and write filters to be
created and piggybacks on the poll() file operation to determine when
a filter should trigger. The piggyback mechanism is simply to check
for the EWOULDBLOCK or EAGAIN return code from read(), write() or
ioctl() system calls and then update the kqueue() polling state bits.
The implementation is similar to the one found in the cuse(3) module.

- Allow "struct linux_file" to be refcounted when its "_file" member
is NULL by using its "f_count" field. The reference counts are
transferred to the file structure when the file descriptor is
installed.
- Add missing vdrop() calls for error cases during open().
- Set the "_file" member of "struct linux_file" during open. This
allows use of refcounting through get_file() and fput() with LinuxKPI
character devices.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
