Remove the vnode and dev_t fields and replace them with a void *.
Introduce separate strategy functions for devices and regular (NFS)
vnodes.
For devices we don't need the vnode v_numoutput stuff.
Add a generic swaponsomething() function to add a swapdevice and
split the remainder of swaponvp() into swaponvp() and swapondev()
which calls this backend.
Eliminate a lot of checkes to make sure requests are not cross-device
which is unnecessary with the new layout. We know a sequential request
cannot possibly be cross-device because there is a reserved page between
the devices.
Remove a couple of comments which no longer are relevant.
to not get any cross-device I/O requests. (The unallocated first page
protecting BSD labels already gave us this, but that hack may go away
at some point in time).
Remove the check for cross-device I/O requests in swap_pager_strategy.
Move the repeated statistics updating into flushchainbuf().
Use ->bio_children to count child buffers, rather than abuse the
bio_caller1 pointer.
Expand the relevant bits of waitchainbuf() inline, this clarifies
the code a little bit.
striping to a per device round-robin algorithm.
Because of the policy of not attempting to retain previous swap
allocation on page-out, this means that a newly added swap device
almost instantly takes its 1/N share of the I/O load but it takes
somewhat longer for it to assume it's 1/N share of the pages if there
is plenty of space on the other devices.
Change the 8G total swapspace limitation to 8G per device instead
by using a per device blist rather than one global blist. This
reduces the memory footprint by 75% (typically a couple hundred
kilobytes) for the common case with one swapdevice but NSWAPDEV=4.
Remove the compile time constant limit of number of swap devices,
there is no limit now. Instead of a fixed size array, store the
per swapdev structure in a TAILQ.
Total swap space is still addressed by a 32 bit page number and
therefore the upper limit is now 2^42 bytes = 16TB (for i386).
We still do not allocate the first page of each device in order to
give some amount of protection to any bsdlabel at the start of the
device.
A new device is appended after the existing devices in the swap space,
no attempt is made to fill in holes left behind by swapoff (this can
trivially be changed should it ever become a problem).
The sysctl vm.nswapdev now reflects the number of currently configured
swap devices.
Rename vm_swap_size to swap_pager_avail for consistency with other
exported names.
Change argument type for vm_proc_swapin_all() and swap_pager_isswapped()
to be a struct swdevt pointer rather than an index.
Not changed: we are still using blists to manage the free space,
but since the swapspace is no longer fragmented by the striping
different resource managers might fare better.
contain the filedescriptor number on opens from userland.
The index is used rather than a "struct file *" since it conveys a bit
more information, which may be useful to in particular fdescfs and /dev/fd/*
For now pass -1 all over the place.
the "toss the largest process" emergency handling) from vm_map.c to
swap_pager.c.
The quantity calculated depends strongly on the internals of the
swap_pager and by moving it, we no longer need to expose the
internal metrics of the swap_pager to the world.

Use this interface from the Linuxolator instead of groping around in the

Move private interfaces between the two from swap_pager.h to swap_pager.c
and staticize as much as possible.
No functional change.
files, so that SWAP_META_PAGES does not vary either.
swap_pager.c ended up with a value of 16, everybody else 8. Go with
the 16 for now.
This should only have any effect in the "kill processes because we
are out of swap" scenario, where it will make some sort of estimate
of something more precise.
