vm_page_reserve_pages() and vm_page_allocate_page() will now steal pages from
the inactive queue as needed.
* We currently never steal active pages anymore, but this might need to be
revised later (therefore, the page scanner never waits anymore, but uses
mutex_trylock() to lock a cache).
* The page scanner and writer now both run at normal priority - let's see how
that will work out.
* Introduced an inactive queue.
* Instead of shuffling pages around in the queue (and therefore destroying LRU)
the page stealing mechanism now uses a marker page to be able to release the
page lock without losing its position in the queue.
* The page writer now always grabs the whole release count of the semaphore, so
that there won't be a huge backlog to catch up with.
* vm_page_num_free_pages() now also includes the inactive queue as well as the
reserved pages (they are no longer regarded as free pages).
* Added a insert_page_after() function that inserts a page after another one,
needed by the marker code.
* clear_page() now gets a vm_page instead of a physical address which simplified
some code.
* Removed superfluous initialization of the queues (if those aren't zeroed on
start, we would have serious problems, anyway).
* Removed old and unimplemented dump_free_page_table() ("free_pages") KDL
command.

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.

introduced a new vm_page_write_modified_page().
* Resolved a TODO: vm_page_write_modified_pages() did not mark a to be
written page busy but unlocked its cache which could let someone else
steal that page in the mean time.
* Moved the logic when to move a page to the active or inactive queue to
a new function move_page_to_active_or_inactive_queue().
* Moved page_state_to_string() to vm_page(); it's now also used by the
"page" and "page_queue" KDL commands.
* Made the output of the "page_queue list" command more useful.

* The vm_translation_map is now correctly held in all of the vm_ mapping
functions.
* Removed the old vm_daemons.c file - there is now a new vm_daemons.cpp
which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.
So far, it's pretty static and not much tested. What it currently does
is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)
* The page daemon currently only runs on low memory situations, though.

* Renamed them, made everything static besides vm_allocate_early() (previous
vm_alloc_from_kernel_args()) which now allows you to specify a different
virtual than physical size, and therefore makes vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args()
superfluous (which isn't exported anymore, and is now called allocate_early_virtual()).
* Enabled printing a stack trace on serial output on team crash - it doesn't hurt
for now, anyway.
* Cleanup.

instead B_KERNEL_PROTECTION and B_USER_PROTECTION.
Unlike before, B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA is now only in B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS,
but no longer in B_KERNEL_PROTECTION. This fixes a couple of problems
when B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA was defined without specifing read/write
access.
PAGE_PRESENT|MODIFIED|ACCESSED are in the same "namespace" as the
protection flags, and therefore, shouldn't overlap.

removed unused headers. Adapted sources to still compile with the new
header locations.

for temporary memory anymore, it's the store's responsibility to do that
correctly now, and that functionality is reached via the vm_cache using
vm_cache_set_minimal_commitment().
Therefore, the vm_store commit() function now returns a status instead of
the size that could be commited.
Replaced the max_commit mechanism with one that cares about the available
memory, stores can reserve and unreserve such memory. The anonymous_commit()
will now fail in case it could not reserve the needed amount of memory.

- the above file now also exports a function to finally complete the kernel's
address space translation map after semaphores became available (was just
not done before)
- renamed some functions, especially the *_init2() functions are now called
like *_init_post_area() to indicate they are called after the area functionality
became available
- removed the _struct suffix from certain structures
- fixed some return types
- added prototype for vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range() to be called by
arch code.
