Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

The minimum allocation size of 4 blocks is an old policy that came with
the "new" swap pager in r42957. Since then the blist allocator has
gotten better at reducing fragmentation; for example, with r349777 it
can return a range that spans multiple leaves. When swap space is close

swap_pager_swapoff_object()'s goal is to allocate pages for all valid
swap blocks belonging to the object, for which there is no resident
page. If the page corresponding to a block is already resident and
valid, the block can simply be discarded.
The existing implementation tries to minimize the number of I/Os used.
For each cluster of swap blocks, it finds maximal runs of valid swap
blocks not resident in memory, and valid resident pages. During this
processing, the object lock may be dropped in several places: when
calling getpages, or when blocking on a busy page in
vm_page_grab_pages(). While the lock is dropped, another thread may
free swap blocks, causing getpages to page in stale data.
Fix the problem following a suggestion from Jeff: use getpages'
readahead capability to perform clustering rather than doing it
ourselves. The simplies the code a bit without reintroducing the old
behaviour of performing one I/O per page.

Shadow objects are marked with a COLLAPSING flag while they are collapsing with
their backing object. This gives us an explicit test rather than overloading
paging-in-progress. While split is on-going we mark an object with SPLIT.
These two operations will modify the swap tree so they must be serialized
and swap_pager_getpages() can now directly detect these conditions and page
more conservatively.
Callers to vm_object_collapse() now will reliably wait for a collapse to finish
so that the backing chain is as short as possible before other decisions are
made that may inflate the object chain. For example, split, coalesce, etc.
It is now safe to run fault concurrently with collapse. It is safe to increase
or decrease paging in progress with no lock so long as there is another valid
ref on increase.
This change makes collapse more reliable as a secondary benefit. The primary
benefit is making it safe to drop the object lock much earlier in fault or
never acquire it at all.
This was tested with a new shadow chain test script that uncovered long
