Remove malloc_domain(9) and most other _domain KPIs added in r327900.
The new functions allow the caller to specify a general NUMA domain
selection policy, rather than specifically requesting an allocation from
a specific domain. The latter policy tends to interact poorly with
M_WAITOK, resulting in situations where a caller is blocked indefinitely
because the specified domain is depleted. Most existing consumers of
the _domain KPIs are converted to instead use a DOMAINSET_PREF() policy,
in which we fall back to other domains to satisfy the allocation
request.
This change also defines a set of DOMAINSET_FIXED() policies, which
only permit allocations from the specified domain.

- In uma_prealloc(), we need to check for an empty domain before the
first allocation attempt, not after. Fix this by switching
uma_prealloc() to use a vm_domainset iterator, which addresses the
secondary issue of using a signed domain identifier in round-robin
iteration.
- Don't automatically create a page daemon for domain 0.
- In domainset_empty_vm(), recompute ds_cnt and ds_order after
excluding empty domains; otherwise we may frequently specify an empty
domain when calling in to the page allocator, wasting CPU time.
Convert DOMAINSET_PREF() policies for empty domains to round-robin.
- When freeing bootstrap pages, don't count them towards the per-domain
total page counts for now: some vm_phys segments are created before
the SRAT is parsed and are thus always identified as being in domain 0
even when they are not. Then, when bootstrap pages are freed, they
are added to a domain that we had previously thought was empty. Until
this is corrected, we simply exclude them from the per-domain page
count.

This provides a chicken switch for anyone negatively impacted by
enabling NUMA in the amd64 GENERIC kernel configuration. With
NUMA disabled at boot-time, information about the NUMA topology
is not exposed to the rest of the kernel, and all of physical
memory is viewed as coming from a single domain.
This method still has some performance overhead relative to disabling
NUMA support at compile time.

The AMD Threadripper 2990WX is basically a slightly crippled Epyc.
Rather than having 4 memory controllers, one per NUMA domain, it has
only 2 memory controllers enabled. This means that only 2 of the
4 NUMA domains can be populated with physical memory, and the
others are empty.
Add support to FreeBSD for empty NUMA domains by:
- creating empty memory domains when parsing the SRAT table,
rather than failing to parse the table
- not running the pageout deamon threads in empty domains
- adding defensive code to UMA to avoid allocating from empty domains
- adding defensive code to cpuset to avoid binding to an empty domain
Thanks to Jeff for suggesting this strategy.

Add a new "interleave" allocation policy which stripes pages across
domains with a stride or width keeping contiguity within a multi-page
region.
Move the kernel to the dedicated numbered cpuset #2 making it possible
to assign kernel threads and memory policy separately from user. This
also eliminates the need for the complicated interrupt binding code.
Add a sysctl API for viewing and manipulating domainsets. Refactor some
of the cpuset_t manipulation code using the generic bitset type so that
it can be used for both. This probably belongs in a dedicated subr file.

Only use CPUs in the domain the device is attached to for default

Unfortunately, it seems that this is not ideal for new platform bringup
and boot low level development (which needs ktr_cpumask to be effective
before tunables can be setup).
Because of this, add a way to statically initialize cpusets, by passing
an list of initializers, divided by commas. Also, provide a way to enforce
an all-set mask, for above mentioned initializers.
This imposes some differences on how KTR_CPUMASK is setup now as a
kernel option, and in particular this makes the words specifications
backward wrt. what is currently in -CURRENT. In order to avoid mismatches
between KTR_CPUMASK definition and other way to setup the mask
(tunable, sysctl) and to print it, change the ordering how
cpusetobj_print() and cpusetobj_scan() acquire the words belonging
to the set.
Please give a look to sys/conf/NOTES in order to understand how the
new format is supposed to work.
Also, ktr manpages will be updated shortly by gjb which volountereed

This patch won't be merged because it changes a POLA (at least

That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of

Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.

here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
