device drivers to use arbitrary VM objects to satisfy individual mmap()
requests.
- A new d_mmap_single(cdev, &foff, objsize, &object, prot) callback is
added to cdevsw. This function is called for each mmap() request.
If it returns ENODEV, then the mmap() request will fall back to using
the device's device pager object and d_mmap(). Otherwise, the method
can return a VM object to satisfy this entire mmap() request via
*object. It can also modify the starting offset into this object via
*foff. This allows device drivers to use the file offset as a cookie
to identify specific VM objects.
- vm_mmap_vnode() has been changed to call vm_mmap_cdev() directly when
mapping V_CHR vnodes. This avoids duplicating all the cdev mmap
handling code and simplifies some of vm_mmap_vnode().
- D_VERSION has been bumped to D_VERSION_02. Older device drivers
using D_VERSION_01 are still supported.

rather than unconditionally making partially dirty pages fully dirty, only
make partially dirty pages fully dirty if the pmap says that the page has
been modified.
(This change is also a small optimization. It eliminate an unnecessary call
to pmap_is_modified() on pages that are mapped read only.)

following changes:
Rename vfs_page_set_valid() to vfs_page_set_validclean() to reflect
what this function actually does. Suggested by: tegge
Introduce a new version of vfs_page_set_valid() that does no more than
what the function's name implies. Specifically, it does not update
the page's dirty mask, and thus it does not require the page queues
lock to be held.
Update two of the three callers to the old vfs_page_set_valid() to
call vfs_page_set_validclean() instead because they actually require
the page's dirty mask to be cleared.
Introduce vm_page_set_valid().

reservation was moved to the head of the partially-populated reservations
queue, where it would be the next reservation to be broken in case the
free page queues were emptied. Now, instead, I am moving it to the tail.
Very likely this reservation is in the process of being freed in its
entirety, so placing it at the tail of the queue makes it more likely that
the underlying physical memory will be returned to the free page queues as
one contiguous chunk. If a reservation must be broken, it will, instead,
be the longest unchanged reservation, which is arguably the reservation
that is least likely to ever achieve promotion or be freed in its entirety.

but I see no benefit from it today.
VM_PROT_READ_IS_EXEC was only intended for use on processors that do not
distinguish between read and execute permission. On an mmap(2) or
mprotect(2), it automatically added execute permission if the caller
specified permissions included read permission. The hope was that this
would reduce the number of vm map entries needed to implement an address
space because there would be fewer neighboring vm map entries that differed
only in the presence or absence of VM_PROT_EXECUTE. (See vm/vm_mmap.c
revision 1.56.)
Today, I don't see any real applications that benefit from
VM_PROT_READ_IS_EXEC. In any case, vm map entries are now organized
as a self-adjusting binary search tree instead of an ordered list. So,
the need for coalescing vm map entries is not as great as it once was.

values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace,
bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace,
hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva. Previously, a
relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result
in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of
hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers. Now one has to overflow a long to see
such problems. There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause
overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf. I've changed it to always check and
cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow.
Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things
like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims
