- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain

- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist

The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order

Current code doesn't check size of elf sections and may perform needless
actions of zero-sized memory allocation and similar.
The bigger issue is that alignment requirement of a zero-sized section
gets effectively applied to the next section if it has smaller alignment
requirement. But other tools, like gdb and consequently kgdb,
completely ignore zero-sized sections and thus may map symbols to
addresses differently.
Zero-sized sections are not typical in general.
Their typical (only, even) cause in FreeBSD modules is inline assembly that
creates custom sections which is found in pcpu.h and vnet.h. Mere inclusion
of one of those header files produces a custom section in elf output.
If there is no actual use for the section in a given module, then the
section remains empty.
Better solution is to avoid creating zero-sized sections altogether,
which is in plans.

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().
