On the one hand, FIFOs should respect other variables not supported by
the fifofs vnode operation (such as _PC_NAME_MAX, _PC_LINK_MAX, etc.).
These values are fs-specific and must come from a fs-specific method.
On the other hand, filesystems that support FIFOs are required to
support _PC_PIPE_BUF on directory vnodes that can contain FIFOs.
Given this latter requirement, once the fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF
method supports _PC_PIPE_BUF for directories, it is also suitable for
FIFOs permitting a single VOP_PATHCONF method to be used for both
FIFOs and non-FIFOs.
To that end, retire all of the FIFO-specific pathconf methods from
filesystems and change FIFO-specific vnode operation switches to use
the existing fs-specific VOP_PATHCONF method. For fifofs, set it's
VOP_PATHCONF to VOP_PANIC since it should no longer be used.
While here, move _PC_PIPE_BUF handling out of vop_stdpathconf() so that
only filesystems supporting FIFOs will report a value. In addition,
only report a valid _PC_PIPE_BUF for directories and FIFOs.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
The option "nonc" disables using of namecache for the created mount,
by default namecache is used. The rationale for the option is that
namecache duplicates the information which is already kept in memory
by tmpfs. Since it believed that namecache scales better than tmpfs,
or will scale better, do not enable the option by default. On the
other hand, smaller machines may benefit from lesser namecache
pressure.

Please note that, this is currently considered as an
experimental feature so there could be some rough
edges. Consult http://wiki.freebsd.org/TMPFS for
more information.
For now, connect tmpfs to build on i386 and amd64
architectures only. Please let us know if you have
success with other platforms.

for NetBSD as a SoC project; Rohit Jalan ported it
from NetBSD to FreeBSD. Howard Su and Glen Leeder
are worked on it to continue this effort.
