 Note- this commit changes the userland/kernel ABI for pipes

 Please check the manpage for details on the new feature.

 The MFC would be trivial but it breaks the ABI, so it will
 be postponed until after 7.2 is released.

Under our more strict but relatively undocumented -STABLE ABI rules, this sort of change is no longer permitted. Is there really no way to do this without breaking the ABI for the purposes of making it more gently MFCable?
