Add a pair of bus methods that can be used to "map" resources for direct
CPU access using bus_space(9). bus_map_resource() creates a mapping and
bus_unmap_resource() releases a previously created mapping. Mappings are
described by 'struct resource_map' object. Pointers to these objects can
be passed as the first argument to the bus_space wrapper API used for bus
resources.
Drivers that wish to map all of a resource using default settings
(for example, using uncacheable memory attributes) do not need to change.
However, drivers that wish to use non-default settings can now do so
without jumping through hoops.
First, an RF_UNMAPPED flag is added to request that a resource is not
implicitly mapped with the default settings when it is activated. This
permits other activation steps (such as enabling I/O or memory decoding
in a device's PCI command register) to be taken without creating a
mapping. Right now the AGP drivers don't set RF_ACTIVE to avoid using
up a large amount of KVA to map the AGP aperture on 32-bit platforms.
Once RF_UNMAPPED is supported on all platforms that support AGP this
can be changed to using RF_UNMAPPED with RF_ACTIVE instead.
Second, bus_map_resource accepts an optional structure that defines
additional settings for a given mapping.
For example, a driver can now request to map only a subset of a resource
instead of the entire range. The AGP driver could also use this to only
map the first page of the aperture (IIRC, it calls pmap_mapdev() directly
to map the first page currently). I will also eventually change the
PCI-PCI bridge driver to request mappings of the subset of the I/O window
resource on its parent side to create mappings for child devices rather
than passing child resources directly up to nexus to be mapped. This
also permits bridges that do address translation to request suitable
mappings from a resource on the "upper" side of the bus when mapping
resources on the "lower" side of the bus.
Another attribute that can be specified is an alternate memory attribute
for memory-mapped resources. This can be used to request a
Write-Combining mapping of a PCI BAR in an MI fashion. (Currently the
drivers that do this call pmap_change_attr() directly for x86 only.)
Note that this commit only adds the MI framework. Each platform needs
to add support for handling RF_UNMAPPED and thew new
bus_map/unmap_resource methods. Generally speaking, any drivers that
are calling rman_set_bustag() and rman_set_bushandle() need to be
updated.

dependent memory attributes:
Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.
Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.
Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:
kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.
vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.
Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

required by video card drivers. Specifically, this change introduces
vm_cache_mode_t with an appropriate VM_CACHE_DEFAULT definition on all
architectures. In addition, this changes adds a vm_cache_mode_t parameter
to kmem_alloc_contig() and vm_phys_alloc_contig(). These will be the
interfaces for allocating mapped kernel memory and physical memory,
respectively, with non-default cache modes.
