Kill some stale leftovers from the earlier attempts at SMP per-cpu pages

Man the liferafts! Here comes the long awaited SMP -> -current merge!

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.

The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.

There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.

This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!

Killed exech_map as a result of these changes.
There appears to be no performance difference with this change.

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.

Provide an alternative interface to contigmalloc() which allows a specific
map to be used when allocating the kernel va (e.g., mb_map). The VM
gurus may want to look this over.

when allocating memory for network buffers at interrupt time. This is due

Fix bug related to map entry allocations where a sleep might be attempted
when allocating memory for network buffers at interrupt time. This is due
to inadequate checking for the new mcl_map. Fixed by merging mb_map and
mcl_map into a single mb_map.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

File mistakenly left out of the previous mega-commit. This provides
a global defn for 'exech_map.'

Allocate mbufs from a separate submap so that NMBCLUSTERS works as
expected.

Eliminate sloppy common-style declarations. There should be none left for
the LINT configuation.

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.

Fix up some sloppy coding practices:

- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.

NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
