The program counter field in the PCB is written in exactly one place,
makectx(), upon entry to the debugger. For threads other than curthread,
its value will be empty, or bogus. Rather than writing to this field in
more places, it can be removed in favor of using the value in the link
register.
To make this clearer, pcb->pcb_x[30] is renamed to pcb->pcb_lr, similar
to what already exists in struct trapframe. Also, prefer lr to x30 in
assembly, as it better conveys intention.
This improves PC_REGS() for kdb_thread != curthread. It is required for
a functional gdb(4) stub, fixing the output of `info threads`, in
particular.
The space occupied by pcb_pc is retained, for compatibility with kgdb.

Implement get/fill_dbregs on arm64. This is used by ptrace with the
PT_GETDBREGS and PT_SETDBREGS requests. It allows userspace to set hardware
breakpoints.
The struct dbreg is based on Linux to ease adding hardware breakpoint
support to debuggers.

VFP code to store the old context, with lazy loading of the new context
when needed.
FPU_KERN_NOCTX is missing as this is unused in the crypto code this has
been tested with, and I am unsure on the requirements of the UEFI
Runtime Services.

the same size, but this will be performed in a later change.
To help work with an extra level of page tables two new functions have
been added, one to file the lowest level table entry, and one to find the
block/page level. Both of these find the entry for a given pmap and virtual
address.
This has been tested with a combination of buildworld, stress2 tests, and
by using sort to consume a large amount of memory by sorting /dev/zero. No
new issues are known to be present from this change.
