Remove the cache flush routines that have been moved to cpu.c
Make sure we clear out the unused PA bits in the TTE which causes breakage
on some MMU models.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

problems when executing programs where text is copied to a page without
a dma sync (like NFS data bcopy'd to a buffer cache page).
From discussion with Jason Thorpe and Eduardo Horvath.
This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.
