Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.
the latter is not a appropriate place to do so and it broke vfork.

which is zero by default.
perform rbtree sanity checks only when it isn't zero
because the check is very heavy weight especially when
there're many entries.
in the case that there's no cached entries,
if kmem_map is already up, allocate a entry from it
so that we won't try to vm_map_lock recursively.
XXX assuming usage pattern of kmem_map.
- for in-kernel maps, disable map entry merging so that
unmap operations won't block. (workaround for PR/24039)
- for in-kernel maps, allocate kva for vm_map_entry from
the map itsself and eliminate MAX_KMAPENT and
uvm_map_entry_kmem_pool.
(1) split the single list of pages allocated to a pool into three lists:
completely full, partially full, and completely empty.
there is no longer any need to traverse any list looking for a
certain type of page.
(2) replace the 8-element hash table for out-of-page page headers
with a splay tree.
these two changes (together with the recent enhancements to the wait code)
give us linear scaling for a fork+exit microbenchmark.

it may return space already in use as free space under some condition.
The symptom of the bug is that exec fails if stack is unlimited on
topdown VM kernel.
previous entry. (not if the current entry starts at the end of the new
space; that case doesn't take into account if the new space had a specified
alignment).
means that the dynamic linker gets mapped in at the top of available
user virtual memory (typically just below the stack), shared libraries
get mapped downwards from that point, and calls to mmap() that don't
specify a preferred address will get mapped in below those.
This means that the heap and the mmap()ed allocations will grow
towards each other, allowing one or the other to grow larger than
before. Previously, the heap was limited to MAXDSIZ by the placement
of the dynamic linker (and the process's rlimits) and the space
available to mmap was hobbled by this reservation.
This is currently only enabled via an *option* for the i386 platform
(though other platforms are expected to follow). Add "options
USE_TOPDOWN_VM" to your kernel config file, rerun config, and rebuild
your kernel to take advantage of this.
Note that the pmap_prefer() interface has not yet been modified to
play nicely with this, so those platforms require a bit more work
(most notably the sparc) before they can use this new memory
arrangement.
This change also introduces a VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS() macro that picks
the appropriate default address based on the size of the allocation or
the size of the process's text segment accordingly. Several drivers
and the SYSV SHM address assignment were changed to use this instead
of each one picking their own "default".
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
