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.

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.

Now savecore(8) can find core dump in dumpdev properly.
XXX "target kcore /dev/mem" on gdb does not work yet.

as described in pmap(9).
These calls are relatively conservative. It may be possible to
optimize these a little more.
call overhead is incurred as we start sprinkling pmap_update() calls
throughout the source tree (no pmaps currently defer operations, but
we are adding the infrastructure to allow them to do so).
add "%" prefix to register names in assembly code.
change assembly functions to return values in %a0 instead of %d0.
C symbols no longer prepend an underscore, adjust assembly code for this.
32-bit values are now 32-bit aligned instead of 16-bit aligned,
adjust structure packing and padding to override this where necessary.
make EXEC_ELF std, make EXEC_AOUT and COMPAT_AOUT_M68K optional.
use the MI loadfile() instead of several home-grown versions.

but sunmon_abort() does not restore mon_crp so it causes problems.
Instead, call romVectorPtr->abortEntry (via trap14) from sunmon_halt()
and call it from cpu_reboot().
Now PROM boot command works properly even after halt on my 3/80.
