De-inline the PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() since it now carries code to iterate

were PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() could look them up later. This should be
considered before the MFC of the commit is done.

yielding a new public interface, vm_page_alloc_contig(). This new function
addresses some of the limitations of the current interfaces, contigmalloc()
and kmem_alloc_contig(). For example, the physically contiguous memory that
is allocated with those interfaces can only be allocated to the kernel vm
object and must be mapped into the kernel virtual address space. It also
provides functionality that vm_phys_alloc_contig() doesn't, such as wiring
the returned pages. Moreover, unlike that function, it respects the low
water marks on the paging queues and wakes up the page daemon when
necessary. That said, at present, this new function can't be applied to all
types of vm objects. However, that restriction will be eliminated in the
coming weeks.
From a design standpoint, this change also addresses an inconsistency
between vm_phys_alloc_contig() and the other vm_phys_alloc*() functions.
Specifically, vm_phys_alloc_contig() manipulated vm_page fields that other
functions in vm/vm_phys.c didn't. Moreover, vm_phys_alloc_contig() knew
about vnodes and reservations. Now, vm_page_alloc_contig() is responsible
for these things.

vm_page_startup(). Specifically, the dump_avail array should be used
instead of the phys_avail array to calculate the size of vm_page_dump. For
example, the pages for the message buffer are allocated prior to
vm_page_startup() by subtracting them from the last entry in the phys_avail
array, but the first thing that vm_page_startup() does after creating the
vm_page_dump array is to set the bits corresponding to the message buffer
pages in that array. However, these bits might not actually exist in the
array, because the size of the array is determined by the current value in
the last entry of the phys_avail array. In general, the only reason why
this doesn't always result in an out-of-bounds array access is that the size
of the vm_page_dump array is rounded up to the next page boundary. This
change eliminates that dependence on rounding (and luck).

struct msgbuf itself will not be included. Thus the dump would look

The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates
a new free page list for the KSEG0 region, and a new function
in sys/vm that allocates pages from a specific free page list.
This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table
page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before
the call to uma_zfree, and re-acquiring them afterwards will introduce
a race condtion(noted by alc@).
The changes are :
- Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for
page table pages.
- Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that
is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first
try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist.
- Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int
order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified
freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function
from the freelist containing direct mapped pages.
- Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a
new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize
pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too.
- Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create
vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use
this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().
