These changes will allow platforms like x86 (XMM) and PowerPC
(AltiVec) to export extended register sets in a sane manner.
* Use __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers (standard
FP + SSE/SSE2) using PT_{GET,SET}XMMREGS (in the machdep
ptrace request space).
* Use __HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers via
/proc/N/xmmregs in procfs.

Note kernel code should do proper bound checking, rather than
depend on M_CANFAIL. This flag is only supposed to be used in very
special cases, where common bound checking is not appropriate.

This is a followup to PR/14558.
- itimerfix(9) limited the number of seconds to 100M, before I changed
it to 1000M for PR/14558.
- nanosleep(2) documents a limit of 1000M seconds.
- setitimer(2), select(2), and other library functions that indirectly
use setitimer(2) for example alarm(3) don't specify a limit.
So it only seems appropriate that any positive number of seconds in
struct timeval should be accepted by any code that uses itimerfix(9)
directly, except nanosleep(2) which should check for 1000M seconds
manually. This changes makes the manual pages of select(2), nanosleep(2),
setitimer(2), and alarm(3) consistent with the code.
pages loaned to the kernel. this implies that we also need to
call pmap_kremove() before uvm_km_free().

executable mappings. Stop overloading VTEXT for this purpose (VTEXT
also has another meaning).
- Rename vn_marktext() to vn_markexec(), and use it when executable
mappings of a vnode are established.
- In places where we want to set VTEXT, set it in v_flag directly, rather
than making a function call to do this (it no longer makes sense to
use a function call, since we no longer overload VTEXT with VEXECMAP's
meaning).

vnode, we should not attempt to remove the namecache entry. this is because
vget() can sleep (eg. if VXLOCK is set because the vnode is being reclaimed),
and so multiple threads can end up in this context at the same time.
if this happens, each thread ends up removing the cache entry, but
the code to remove the entry assumes that the entry is still valid.
so we should just leave the (now stale) entry in the cache.
if another thread finds the entry again before it is reused,
that thread will notice that the entry is stale and remove it safely.

This is activated by defining POOL_SUBPAGE to the size of the new allocation
unit, and makes pools much more efficient on machines with obscenely large
pages. It might even make four-megabyte arm26 systems usable.

Also fixed a few cosmetic things
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.
convert various file systems to use the <sys/queue.h> macros for
their hash tables.
"earliest" firing callout in a bucket. This allows us to skip
the scan up the bucket if no callouts are due in the bucket.
A cheap O(1) hint update is done at callout insertion (if new callout
is earlier than hint) and removal (is bucket empty). A thorough
refresh of the hint is done when the bucket is traversed.
This doesn't matter much on machines with small values of hz
(e.g. i386), but on systems with large values of hz (e.g. Alpha),
it has a definite positive effect.
Also, keep the callwheel stats in evcnts, so that you can view them
with "vmstat -e".
