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.

tlbflush() when that's what we mean (currently everywhere, except
in the one place in MI code where it is called).
The whole pmap_update() thing needs to be reexamined, but this helps
to clarify things a little with the currently-defined semantics of
that function.
that the page being zero'd was not completed and that page zeroing
should be aborted. This may be used by machine-dependent code doing
slow page access to reduce the latency of running a process that has
become runnable while in the middle of doing a slow page zero.
of virtual address space, leaving userland with 3G, and update comments
to match the new reality.
We knew we were going to have to bite this bullet eventually, and there
are a couple of outstanding PRs related to this issue (9389 and 9313).
Complete solution to those PRs is going to involve some sort of run-time
decision on how large kmem_map should be, as well as changing some data
structure allocation strategies in UVM. However, this change will at
least allow the PR submitter to simply throw resources at the problem.
allocation strategy no longer works at all. Move pmap.new.* to pmap.*.
To read the revision history of PMAP_NEW up until this merge, use cvs
rlog of the old pmap.new.* files.
which set the LDT and share VM space (e.g. new versions of WINE) expect
the LDT to be logically coupled to the address space. Use the new pmap_fork()
interface to copy non-shared user-set LDTs when the address space is forked.

one little line of code i accidentally deleted while merging it.
this is not enabled by default. `options MACHINE_NEW_NONCONTIG'
will use this code. eventually, this should go into <machine/vmparam.h>
insteaed of MACHINE_NONCONTIG.
- New variables: biosextmem, biosbasemem, nkpde
- Above can be set by using the options BIOSEXTMEM, BIOSBASEMEM,
and NKPDE respectively (EXTMEM_SIZE is now called BIOSEXTMEM).
When preset this way, they won't be filled in / calculated.
- Readable by sysctl using machdep.nkpde, machdep.biosbasemem
and machdep.biosextmem.
- nkpde is calculated as:
min(NKPDE_MAX, NKPDE_BASE + (biosextmem >> 10) * NKPDE_SCALE)
Where NKPDE_MAX is 31, NKPDE_BASE is 4, NKPDE_SCALE = 1.
Map kernel stacks only at unique addresses.
Use one TSS per process.
Add sysarch calls for modifying IOPL and the I/O permission bitmap.
Add a compacting GDT entry allocator, for TSS and LDT selectors.
Enable modifying %fs and %gs with PT_SETREGS.
Sanitize various bits of code.
