thorpej 7fd701e0fa Add support for multiple memory free lists. There is at least one
default free list, and 0 - N additional free list, in order of descending
priority.

A new page allocation function, uvm_pagealloc_strat(), has been added,
providing three page allocation strategies:

	- normal: high -> low priority free list walk, taking the
	  page off the first free list that has one.

	- only: attempt to allocate a page only from the specified free
	  list, failing if that free list has none available.

	- fallback: if `only' fails, fall back on `normal'.

uvm_pagealloc(...) is provided for normal use (and is a synonym for
uvm_pagealloc_strat(..., UVM_PGA_STRAT_NORMAL, 0); the free list argument
is ignored for the `normal' case).

uvm_page_physload() now specified which free list the pages will be
loaded onto.  This means that some platforms which have multiple physical
memory segments may define additional vm_physsegs if they wish to break
individual physical segments into differing priorities.

Machine-dependent code must define _at least_ the following constants
in <machine/vmparam.h>:

	VM_NFREELIST: the number of free lists the system will have

	VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT: the default freelist (should always be 0,
	but is defined in machdep code so that it's with all of the
	other free list-related constants).

Additional free list names may be defined by machine-dependent code, but
they will only be used by machine-dependent code (e.g. for loading the
vm_physsegs).

mrg f2caacc717 initial import of the new virtual memory system, UVM, into -current.
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code.  i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas.  chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.

this is the UVM kernel code portion.


this will be KNF'd shortly.  :-)
