    Here's a revised patch (based on something I brought up earlier)
that converts periodic over to an rc.subr-like paradigm.
    This can be directly applied to HEAD; you will need to backport
r231849 first if you want to apply the patch to 9-STABLE, etc (the
change wasn't MFCed -- not sure why).
Thanks!
