Prior to the removal, they were entirely unused.
The vm_map_insert()/vm_object_coalesce() optimization has been extended
to include OBJT_SWAP objects as well as OBJT_DEFAULT objects. This is
possible because it costs nothing to extend an OBJT_SWAP object with
the new swapper. We can't do this with the old swapper. The old swapper
used a linear array that would have had to have been reallocated, costing
time as well as a potential low-memory deadlock.

Fix the following problem:
As the code stands now, growing any stack, and not just the process's
main stack, modifies vm->vm_ssize. This is inconsistent with the code
earlier in the same procedure.
This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.
As the author says:
|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option. I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it. The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch. There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.
what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in. This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches. The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize). It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c. This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch. I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.

1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to
"size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others.
This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by
Terry Lambert.
Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit
byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the
pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by
macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay,
however.

has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.
1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
are fully valid.
2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
kern_exec, we now free them.
3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
(missing vp) state.
4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous
code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back
a cleaner version.
7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the
original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The
delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
length of the time intervals.
10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
vm_map_clean.
15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
reads.
16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the
page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably
be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
robustly. I'll probably add a printf.)
17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle
consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
verify it's status (always.)
18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

2) When bringing in UPAGES, the pmap code needs to do another vm_page_lookup.
3) When appropriate, set the PG_A or PG_M bits a-priori to both avoid some
processor errata, and to minimize redundant processor updating of page

4) Modify pmap_protect so that it can only remove permissions (as it
originally supported.) The additional capability is not needed.
5) Streamline read-only to read-write page mappings.
6) For pmap_copy_page, don't enable write mapping for source page.
7) Correct and clean-up pmap_incore.
8) Cluster initial kern_exec pagin.
9) Removal of some minor lint from kern_malloc.
10) Correct some ioopt code.
11) Remove some dead code from the MI swapout routine.
12) Correct vm_object_deallocate (to remove backing_object ref.)
13) Fix dead object handling, that had problems under heavy memory load.
14) Add minor vm_page_lookup improvements.
15) Some pages are not in objects, and make sure that the vm_page.c can
properly support such pages.
16) Add some more page deficit handling.
17) Some minor code readability improvements.
