Implementing pmap_kextract(va) as pmap_extract(kernel_pmap, va) is
problematic because some callers to pmap_kextract() expect its
implementation to be lock-less. In particular, uma_dbg_alloc() implicitly
requires this. Otherwise, lock-order reversals occur between pmap locks and
UMA zone locks. So, this change introduces a lock-less implementation of
pmap_kextract().

Disable recursion on the pvh global lock in the new armv6 pmap. While
recursion on this locks occurs in the old arm pmap, it thankfully doesn't
occur in the armv6 pmap.

The page flag PGA_WRITEABLE is set and cleared exclusively by the pmap
layer, but it is read directly by the MI VM layer. This change introduces
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.

Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.

As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.

This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are
capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever
value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are
statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it
as low as possible for the time being.

Technical notes on this commit itself:
- More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced.
The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3)
for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string
representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which
creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation).
- pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon.
With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient
and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that
access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid
migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word
- Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel
and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself,
it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch
as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when
accessing kernland members.
- KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be
set as the example reported in NOTES.

Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but
private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt)
machine (amd64).

Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of
the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not
targeted for MFC.

People to thank for the time spent on this patch:
- sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested
several revision of the patches and really helped in improving
stability of this work.
- marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed
patches related to ktr.
- jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed.
- kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the
patch.
- marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of
the patch.
- marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific
implementations of the patch.
- Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been
already committed and have been listed separately.

Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several
degrees:
- Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big
count of CPUs.
- The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance,
which has been instrumental.
- Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during
development.

(I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in
advance).

Commit the support for removing cpumask_t and replacing it directly with
cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).

Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.

The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN

while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.
