Made "NMBCLUSTERS" calculation dynamic and fixed bogus use of "NMBCLUSTERS"
in machdep.c (it should use the global nmbclusters). Moved the calculation
of nmbclusters into conf/param.c (same place where nmbclusters has always
been assigned), and made the calculation include an extra amount based
on "maxusers". NMBCLUSTERS can still be overrided in the kernel config
file as always, but this change will make that generally unnecessary. This
fixes the "bug" reports from people who have misconfigured kernels seeing
the network hang when the mbuf cluster pool runs out.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

Increased SHMMAXPGS from 512 to 1024 now that there is plenty of kernel
virtual memory.

Eliminated a whole pile of ancient (we're taking 4.3BSD) VM system
related #define constants. Corrected incorrect VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS.

"New" VM system from John Dyson & myself. For a run-down of the
major changes, see the log of any effected file in the sys/vm
directory (swap_pager.c for instance).

Increased maximum and default 'size' limits to more reasonable values.

Make everything compile with -Wtraditional. Make it easier to distribute
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.

NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.

Document that KERNBASE should really be KPTDPTDI << PDRSHIFT, for
now leave it as the constant 0xFE000000 until I make a seperate
common header file for this stuff (vmaddresses.h?)

Remove NKMEMCLUSTERS define, it was only being used to define
VM_KMEM_SIZE, so why have all the indirection. Besides who wants
to work in CLBYTE sizes chuncks.


pmap.h:

Fix $Id$ and some other minor format clean ups.

Remove the XXX comment about NKPDE, since it now has the correct value
of 7.

Remove unused LASTPTDI and move the APTD into the very end of memory to
free up 4MB of kernel virtual address space.
Remove unused RSVDPTDI and free up 12MB of kernel virtual address space.


vmparam.h

Fix $Id$.

Increase SHMMAXPGS to 512 (2MB) now that there is room for it to be
bigger. The XXX comment stays until the kernel moves down in memory
to free up enough space to use the proper default of 4MB.

VM_KMEM_SIZE is now a direct constant stating the size of the kernel
malloc region. Increased the value from 3MB to 16MB.

Correct spelling of "SHMMAXPGS" so the config override will actually work.

define SHMMAXPGS where it is suppose to be, you can over ride this with
a kernel config options "SHMAXPGS=xxx", default is currently 64 pages
due to limit kernel map space.

Increased stack size to 8MB just to be on the real safe side.

Changed MAXSSIZ from MAXDSIZ to 2MB

Increased default data size (DFLDSIZ) to 16MB. Need to rebuild libutil,
kernel, ps and w for this to work!

Initial import, 0.1 + pk 0.2.4-B1
