Subject:   Mbuf flags cleanup proposal
Message-ID:  <20030221151007.GA60348@unixdaemons.com>

Gang.  I have a proposal to rename the current mbuf subsystem
flag bits as follows:

	mbuf (sys/mbuf.h) flags:

	M_TRYWAIT 	->	MB_TRYWAIT
	M_DONTWAIT	->	MB_DONTWAIT

	mbchain(9) (sys/mchain) flags:

	MB_MSYSTEM	->	MBC_MSYSTEM
	MB_MUSER	->	MBC_MUSER
	MB_MINLINE	->	MBC_MINLINE
	MB_MZERO	->	MBC_MZERO
	MB_MCUSTOM	->	MBC_MCUSTOM

This would also be beneficial for the various mbuf(9)
and mbchain(9) routines.  The following are the reasons
why I think it should be done:

	- Less confusion.
	- Less mistakes in future.

Any reasonable objections/comments?

Cheers.
