i386 4/4G split.

The change makes the user and kernel address spaces on i386
independent, giving each almost the full 4G of usable virtual addresses
except for one PDE at top used for trampoline and per-CPU trampoline
stacks, and system structures that must be always mapped, namely IDT,
GDT, common TSS and LDT, and process-private TSS and LDT if allocated.

By using 1:1 mapping for the kernel text and data, it appeared
possible to eliminate assembler part of the locore.S which bootstraps
initial page table and KPTmap. The code is rewritten in C and moved
into the pmap_cold(). The comment in vmparam.h explains the KVA
layout.

There is no PCID mechanism available in protected mode, so each
kernel/user switch forth and back completely flushes the TLB, except
for the trampoline PTD region. The TLB invalidations for userspace
becomes trivial, because IPI handlers switch page tables. On the other
hand, context switches no longer need to reload %cr3.

copyout(9) was rewritten to use vm_fault_quick_hold(). An issue for
new copyout(9) is compatibility with wiring user buffers around sysctl
handlers. This explains two kind of locks for copyout ptes and
accounting of the vslock() calls. The vm_fault_quick_hold() AKA slow
path, is only tried after the 'fast path' failed, which temporary
changes mapping to the userspace and copies the data to/from small
per-cpu buffer in the trampoline. If a page fault occurs during the
copy, it is short-circuit by exception.s to not even reach C code.

The change was motivated by the need to implement the Meltdown
mitigation, but instead of KPTI the full split is done. The i386
architecture already shows the sizing problems, in particular, it is
impossible to link clang and lld with debugging. I expect that the
issues due to the virtual address space limits would only exaggerate
and the split gives more liveness to the platform.

sys/i386: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

- Add a new structure type for the ACPI 3.0 SMAP entry that includes the
optional attributes field.
- Add a 'machdep.smap' sysctl that exports the SMAP table of the running
system as an array of the ACPI 3.0 structure. (On older systems, the
attributes are given a value of zero.) Note that the sysctl only
exports the SMAP table if it is available via the metadata passed from
the loader to the kernel. If an SMAP is not available, an empty array
is returned.
- Add a format handler for the ACPI 3.0 SMAP structure to the sysctl(8)
binary to format the SMAP structures in a readable format similar to
the format found in boot messages.

A simple rewrite of biossmap.c:

- Do not iterate int 15h, function e820h twice. Instead, we use STAILQ to
store each return buffer and copy all at once.
- Export optional extended attributes defined in ACPI 3.0 as separate
metadata. Currently, there are only two bits defined in the specification.
For example, if the descriptor has extended attributes and it is not
enabled, it has to be ignored by OS. We may implement it in the kernel
later if it is necessary and proven correct in reality.
- Check return buffer size strictly as suggested in ACPI 3.0.
