> Log:
>  Make the rmlock(9) interface a bit more like the rwlock(9) interface:
>
>  - Add rm_init_flags() and accept extended options only for that variation.
>  - Add a flags space specifically for rm_init_flags(), rather than borrowing
>    the lock_init() flag space.
>  - Define flag RM_RECURSE to use instead of LO_RECURSABLE.
>  - Define flag RM_NOWITNESS to allow an rmlock to be exempt from WITNESS
>    checking; this wasn't possible previously as rm_init() always passed
>    LO_WITNESS when initializing an rmlock's struct lock.
>  - Add RM_SYSINIT_FLAGS().
>  - Rename embedded mutex in rmlocks to make it more obvious what it is.
>  - Update consumers.
>  - Update man page.

Thanks!

Attilio
