This is necessary for vmware: it does not use an anonymous mmap for

unlinks it. For a 50 MB file, this results in a ot of syncing

swap_pager.c and related commits.
Essentially swap_pager.c is backed out to before the changes, but
swapdev_vp is converted into a real vnode with just VOP_STRATEGY().
It no longer abuses specfs vnops and no longer needs a dev_t and
/dev/drum (or /dev/swapdev) for the intermediate layer.
This essentially restores the vnode interface as the interface to the
bottom of the swap pager, and vm_swap.c provides a clean vnode interface.
This will need to be revisited when we swap to files (vnodes) - which
is the other reason for keeping the vnode interface between the swap pager
and the swap devices.

madvise().
This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory. The
system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
will still be fully coherent with the filesystem. Modifications made
by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
unaffected. The feature works on a page-granularity basis.
MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

vm_map always failed because vm_map_lookup() looked at

multiplexed underlying swap devices (/dev/drum). The only thing it did
was to allow root to open /dev/drum, but not do anything with it.
Various utilities used to grovel around in here, but Matt has written
a much nicer (and clean) front-end to this for libkvm, and nothing uses
the old system any more.
The VM system was calling VOP_STRATEGY() on the vp of the first underlying
swap device (not the /dev/drum one, the first real device), and using
the VOP system to indirectly (and only) call swstrategy() to choose
an underlying device and enqueue it on that device. I have changed it
to avoid diverting through the VOP system and to call the only possible
target directly, saving a little bit of time and some complexity.
In all, nothing much changes, except some scaffolding to support the
roundabout way of calling swstrategy() is gone.
Matt gave me the ok to do this some time ago, and I apologize for taking
so long to get around to it.
