space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.

This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().

This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).
Add ms(4) and kbd(4) to SEE ALSO.
Correct Ud -> Ux in HISTORY.
Add links to zs.4 and zsc.4 to make this easier to find.
Mention "Zilog 8530" in the Nd so that the permuted index will find
this driver.
