There is some unresolved badness that has been eluding me, particularly
affecting uniprocessor kernels. Turning off PG_G helped (which is a bad
sign) but didn't solve it entirely. Userland programs still crashed.

Jake further reduced IPI shootdowns on sparc64 in loops by using ranged
shootdowns in a couple of key places. Do the same for i386. This also
hides some physical addresses from higher levels and has it use the
generic vm_page_t's instead. This will help for PAE down the road.

With Alfred's permission, remove vm_mtx in favor of a fine-grained approach
(this commit is just the first stage). Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.

Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx).

vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor
changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties).

This patch removes the VOP_BWRITE() vector.

VOP_BWRITE() was a hack which made it possible for NFS client
side to use struct buf with non-bio backing.

This patch takes a more general approach and adds a bp->b_op
vector where more methods can be added.

The success of this patch depends on bp->b_op being initialized
all relevant places for some value of "relevant" which is not
easy to determine. For now the buffers have grown a b_magic
element which will make such issues a tiny bit easier to debug.

Checkpoint of a new physical memory backed object type, that does not
have pv_entries. This is intended for very special circumstances,
eg: a certain database that has a 1GB shm segment mapped into 300
processes. That would consume 2GB of kvm just to hold the pv_entries
alone. This would not be used on systems unless the physical ram was
available, as it's not pageable.

This is a work-in-progress, but is a useful and functional checkpoint.
Matt has got some more fixes for it that will be committed soon.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no

Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

Remove B_READ, B_WRITE and B_FREEBUF and replace them with a new
field in struct buf: b_iocmd. The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue. It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.

This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)
