47c40a10a1 * Prefixed memset_physical() and memcpy_to_physical() with "vm_",
added vm_memcpy_from_physical() and vm_memcpy_physical_page(), and
  added respective functions to the vm_translation_map operations. The
  architecture specific implementation can now decide how to implement
  them most efficiently. Added generic implementations that can be used,
  though.
* Changed vm_{get,put}_physical_page(). The former no longer accepts
  flags (the only flag PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT wasn't needed anymore).
  Instead it returns an implementation-specific handle that has to be
  passed to the latter. Added vm_{get,put}_physical_page_current_cpu()
  and *_debug() variants, that work only for the current CPU,
  respectively when in the kernel debugger. Also adjusted the
  vm_translation_map operations accordingly.
* Made consequent use of the physical memory operations in the source
  tree.
* Also adjusted the m68k and ppc implementations with respect to the
  vm_translation_map operation changes, but they are probably broken,
  nevertheless.
* For x86 the generic physical page mapper isn't used anymore. It is
  suboptimal in any case. For systems with small memory it is too much
  overhead, since one can just map the complete physical memory (that's
  not done yet, though). For systems with large memory it counteracts
  the VM strategy to reuse the least recently used pages. Since those
  pages will most likely not be mapped by the page mapper anymore, it
  will keep remapping chunks. This was also the reason why building
  Haiku in Haiku was significantly faster with only 256 MB RAM (since
  that much could be kept mapped all the time).
  Now we're using a different strategy: We have small pools of virtual
  page slots per CPU that are used for the physical page operations
  (memset_physical(), memcpy_*_physical()) with CPU-pinned thread.
  Furthermore we have four slots per translation map, which are used to
  map page tables.

These changes speed up the Haiku image build in Haiku significantly. On
my Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz 2 GB machine about 40% to 20 min 40 s (KDEBUG
disabled, block cache debug disabled). Still more than factor 3 slower
than FreeBSD and Linux, though.

1b6eff280f * Replaced the vm_get_physical_page() "flags"
PHYSICAL_PAGE_{NO,CAN}_WAIT into an actual flag
  PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT.
* Pass the flags through to the chunk mapper callback.

6b202f4e3d * Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
  several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
  private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
  build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
  may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
  Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
  kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
  headers/private/shared/util).
