Implement address space guards.

Guard, requested by the MAP_GUARD mmap(2) flag, prevents the reuse of
the allocated address space, but does not allow instantiation of the
pages in the range. It is useful for more explicit support for usual
two-stage reserve then commit allocators, since it prevents accidental
instantiation of the mapping, e.g. by mprotect(2).

Use guards to reimplement stack grow code. Explicitely track stack
grow area with the guard, including the stack guard page. On stack
grow, trivial shift of the guard map entry and stack map entry limits
makes the stack expansion. Move the code to detect stack grow and
call vm_map_growstack(), from vm_fault() into vm_map_lookup().

As result, it is impossible to get random mapping to occur in the
stack grow area, or to overlap the stack guard page.

Enable stack guard page by default.

Add new bus methods for mapping resources.

Add a pair of bus methods that can be used to "map" resources for direct
CPU access using bus_space(9). bus_map_resource() creates a mapping and
bus_unmap_resource() releases a previously created mapping. Mappings are
described by 'struct resource_map' object. Pointers to these objects can
be passed as the first argument to the bus_space wrapper API used for bus
resources.

Drivers that wish to map all of a resource using default settings
(for example, using uncacheable memory attributes) do not need to change.
However, drivers that wish to use non-default settings can now do so
without jumping through hoops.

First, an RF_UNMAPPED flag is added to request that a resource is not
implicitly mapped with the default settings when it is activated. This
permits other activation steps (such as enabling I/O or memory decoding
in a device's PCI command register) to be taken without creating a
mapping. Right now the AGP drivers don't set RF_ACTIVE to avoid using
up a large amount of KVA to map the AGP aperture on 32-bit platforms.
Once RF_UNMAPPED is supported on all platforms that support AGP this
can be changed to using RF_UNMAPPED with RF_ACTIVE instead.

Second, bus_map_resource accepts an optional structure that defines
additional settings for a given mapping.

For example, a driver can now request to map only a subset of a resource
instead of the entire range. The AGP driver could also use this to only
map the first page of the aperture (IIRC, it calls pmap_mapdev() directly
to map the first page currently). I will also eventually change the
PCI-PCI bridge driver to request mappings of the subset of the I/O window
resource on its parent side to create mappings for child devices rather
than passing child resources directly up to nexus to be mapped. This
also permits bridges that do address translation to request suitable
mappings from a resource on the "upper" side of the bus when mapping
resources on the "lower" side of the bus.

Another attribute that can be specified is an alternate memory attribute
for memory-mapped resources. This can be used to request a
Write-Combining mapping of a PCI BAR in an MI fashion. (Currently the
drivers that do this call pmap_change_attr() directly for x86 only.)

Note that this commit only adds the MI framework. Each platform needs
to add support for handling RF_UNMAPPED and thew new
bus_map/unmap_resource methods. Generally speaking, any drivers that
are calling rman_set_bustag() and rman_set_bushandle() need to be
updated.

rename scheduler->swapper and SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER->SI_SUB_LAST

Also directly call swapper() at the end of mi_startup instead of
relying on swapper being the last thing in sysinits order.

Rationale:

- "RUN_SCHEDULER" was misleading, scheduling already takes place at that stage
- "scheduler" was misleading, the function swaps in the swapped out processes
- another SYSINIT(SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER, SI_ORDER_ANY) could never be
invoked depending on its relative order with scheduler; this was not obvious
and the bug actually used to exist

and simplicity.
- Use this resource allocator to allocate the buffer and transient maps.
Buffer cache defrags are reduced by 25% when used by filesystems with
mixed block sizes. Ultimately this may permit dynamic buffer cache
sizing on low KVA machines.

Implement the concept of the unmapped VMIO buffers, i.e. buffers which
do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.

The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.

When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.

Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.

The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.

Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.

In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.

By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.
