processes in the first pass. Among other things, this will give
us a chance to launder vnode-backed pages before concluding that
we need more swap. This is particularly useful for systems that
have no swap.
While here, update a comment and remove some long-unused code.

- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.

- Restore the old behavior of vm_object_page_remove() when the end
of the given range is zero. Add a comment to vm_object_page_remove()

- Eliminate an odd, special-case feature:
if start == end == 0 then all pages are removed. Only one caller
used this feature and that caller can trivially pass the object's
size.

- The proc lock is enough to cover reading p_state, so push down sched_lock
into the PRS_NORMAL case of the switch on p_state.
- Remove the Giant required from vm_page_free_toq(). (Any locking
errors will be caught by vm_page_remove().)
This remedies a panic that occurred when kmem_malloc(NOWAIT) performed
without Giant failed to allocate the necessary pages.

- Add a parameter to vm_pageout_flush() that tells vm_pageout_flush()
whether its caller has locked the vm_object. (This is a temporary
measure to bootstrap vm_object locking.)
race where a thread could assume that a process was swapped in by
PHOLD() when it actually wasn't fully swapped in yet.
- In faultin(), always msleep() if PS_SWAPPINGIN is set instead of doing
this check after bumping p_lock in the PS_INMEM == 0 case. Also,
sched_lock is only needed for setting and clearning swapping PS_*
flags and the swap thread inhibitor.
- Don't set and clear the thread swap inhibitor in the same loops as the
pmap_swapin/out_thread() since we have to do it under sched_lock.
Instead, mimic the treatment of the PS_INMEM flag and use separate loops
to set the inhibitors when clearing PS_INMEM and clear the inhibitors
when setting PS_INMEM.
- swapout() now returns with the proc lock held as it holds the lock
while adjusting the swapping-related PS_* flags so that the proc lock
can be used to test those flags.
- Only use the proc lock to check the swapping-related PS_* flags in
several places.
- faultin() no longer requires sched_lock to be held by callers.
- Rename PS_SWAPPING to PS_SWAPPINGOUT to be less ambiguous now that we
have PS_SWAPPINGIN.
called without Giant; and obj_alloc() in turn calls vm_page_alloc()
without Giant. This causes an assertion failure in vm_page_alloc().
Fortunately, obj_alloc() is now MPSAFE. So, we need only clean up
some assertions.
- Weaken the assertion in vm_page_lookup() to require Giant only
if the vm_object isn't locked.
- Remove an assertion from vm_page_alloc() that duplicates a check
performed in vm_page_lookup().

where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

mappings are added or removed, and doing so is machine dependent.
In addition, an implementation may require that pages mapped with pmap_kenter
have a backing vm_page_t, which is not necessarily true of all physical
pages, and so may choose to pass the vm_page_t to pmap_kenter instead of the
physical address in order to make this requirement clear.

- On receive, vm_map_lookup() needs to trigger the creation of a shadow
object. To make that happen, call vm_map_lookup() with PROT_WRITE
instead of PROT_READ in vm_pgmoveco().
- On send, a shadow object will be created by the vm_map_lookup() in
vm_fault(), but vm_page_cowfault() will delete the original page from
the backing object rather than simply letting the legacy COW mechanism
take over. In other words, the new page should be added to the shadow
object rather than replacing the old page in the backing object. (i.e.
vm_page_cowfault() should not be called in this case.) We accomplish
this by making sure fs.object == fs.first_object before calling
vm_page_cowfault() in vm_fault().
