There is an order between covered vnode lock and allproc_lock, which
is established by calling mountcheckdirs() while owning the covered
vnode lock. mountcheckdirs() iterates over the processes, protected by
allproc_lock. This order is needed and seems to be not avoidable.
On the other hand, various VM daemons also need to iterate over all
processes, and they lock and unlock user maps. Since unlock of the
user map may trigger processing of the deferred map entries, it causes
vnode locking to occur. Or, when vmspace is freed, dropping references
on the vnode-backed object also lock vnodes. We get reverted order
comparing with the mount/unmount order.
For VM daemons, there is no need to own allproc_lock while we operate
on vmspaces. If the process is held, it serves as the marker for
allproc list, which allows to continue the iteration.
Add _PHOLD_LITE() macro, similar to _PHOLD(), but not causing swap-in
of the kernel stacks. It is used instead of _PHOLD() in vm code,
since e.g. calling faultin() in OOM conditions only exaggerates the
problem.

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

responsibility of the vm_page_grab() caller to ensure that the page
does not end on the vm_object queue but not on the pagedaemon queue,
which would effectively create unpageable unwired page.
In exec_map_first_page() and vm_imgact_hold_page(), activate the page
immediately after unbusying it, to avoid leak.
In the uiomove_object_page(), deactivate page before the object is
unlocked. There is no leak, since the page is deactivated after
uiomove_fromphys() finished. But allowing non-queued non-wired page
in the unlocked object queue makes it impossible to assert that leak

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

We cannot busy a page before doing pagefaults.
Infact, it can deadlock against vnode lock, as it tries to vget().
Other functions, right now, have an opposite lock ordering, like
vm_object_sync(), which acquires the vnode lock first and then
sleeps on the busy mechanism.
Before this patch is reinserted we need to break this ordering.

- It does not let pages respect the LRU policy
- It bloats the active/inactive queues of few pages
Try to avoid it as much as possible with the long-term target to
completely remove it.
Use the soft-busy mechanism to protect page content accesses during
short-term operations (like uiomove_fromphys()).
After this change only vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() is still using the
hold mechanism for page content access.
There is an additional complexity there as the quick path cannot
immediately access the page object to busy the page and the slow path
cannot however busy more than one page a time (to avoid deadlocks).
Fixing such primitive can bring to complete removal of the page hold
mechanism.

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve

o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).
The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.
