have pv_entries. This is intended for very special circumstances,
eg: a certain database that has a 1GB shm segment mapped into 300
processes. That would consume 2GB of kvm just to hold the pv_entries
alone. This would not be used on systems unless the physical ram was
available, as it's not pageable.
This is a work-in-progress, but is a useful and functional checkpoint.
Matt has got some more fixes for it that will be committed soon.

to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address
and passing that. In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing
was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or
it's shadow pv_table entry.
Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches.
Also:
Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine
dependent part of vm_page_t. This eliminates having a seperate set of
structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to
a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above)
This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the
system. (8 bytes on the Alpha).
Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is
managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc). Store this information in a flag.
Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the
fly that do not have pv_entries. This makes it easier to "unmanage" a
page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent
commits).
Add a function to add a new page to the freelist. This could be used
for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded
loader(8) files.

It's not clear what this does nor why they would do it, but it should
compile, now. This could be a case where fixing the code so that it
compiles merely masks more devious dysfunctional behaviour.
Note that __bsdi__s_/_i_/_os_/__ has moved this file to dev/ic/ and
has completely removed the non-compiling function from pdq_ifsubr.c and
has completely removed this function and placed it into netinet/if_ether.c
(if, in fact, it wasn't there the whole time). I was tempted to simply
remove this __bsdi__only__ function.
The function is arp_ifinit().

to generate the special .type and .size directives which are used to set
the corresponding fields of the linker symbol table entries in the ELF

MI header. Otherwise on the Alpha we don't properly give the type and
size of dynamic symbols. Bintuil versions past 2.9.1 warn of this and

This would have been commit #2 which was "Obtained from: BSD/OS" except
their code is buggy (they call err() if the execl() fails, which will
incorrectly call exit()), so instead this is:
Obtained from: NetBSD
various architectures. Now all the work is done in crtbegin.c.
It doesn't contain any assembly language code, so it should work
fine on all architectures. (I have tested it on the i386 and the
alpha.) The old assembly language files crt[in].S are now empty
shells that generate no code or data. They should not be removed
any time soon, because the various versions of gcc in src and ports
expect them to exist.
Next I will move crtbegin.c into a new common machine-independent
directory, and adjust the i386-elf Makefile to use that version.
After that I will adjust the alpha Makefile to use the common
version too.
