pmap on i386
- check for change in executable status in pmap_enter
- pmap_qenter and pmap_qremove only need to invalidate the range if one
of the pages has been referenced
- remove pmap_kenter/pmap_kremove as they were only used by pmap_qenter
and pmap_qremove
- in pmap_copy don't copy wired bit to destination pmap
- mpte was unused in pmap_enter_object - remove
- pmap_enter_quick_locked is not called on the kernel_pmap, remove check
- move pmap_remove_write specific logic out of tte_clear_phys_bit
- in pmap_protect check for removal of execute bit
- panic in the presence of a wired page in pmap_remove_all
- pmap_zero_range can call hwblkclr if offset is zero and size is PAGE_SIZE
- tte_clear_virt_bit is only used by pmap_change_wiring - thus it can be
greatly simplified
- pmap_invalidate_page need only be called in tte_clear_phys_bit if there
is a match with flags
- lock the pmap in tte_clear_phys_bit so that clearing the page bits is
atomic with invalidating the page
- these changes result in 100s reduction in buildworld from a malloc backed
disk to a malloc backed disk - ~2.5%
mbuf is dropped, to preserve the invariant in the PR_ADDR case.
Add a regression test to detect this condition, but do not hook it
up to the build for now.

The problem was that I was acquiring the driver sx lock and then waiting
for a taskqueue to drain, however the taskqueue itself would try to
acquire the lock as well leading to a deadlock.
To fix the problem roll my own exclusive lock that allows for lock
cancellation. This is a normal exclusive lock, however if someone
marks it as "dead" then all waiters who request an error return will
get back an error instead of continuing to wait for the lock.
In this particular case, the shutdown and detach functions kill the
lock while the async task thread tries to acquire the lock but will
abort if the lock returns an error.
The other option was to drop the driver lock mid-detach and mid-shutdown,
mid-detach was a ok, however mid-shutdown was not.
While I'm here, fix a bug in what appears to be the mii link status
word in the softc going out to lunch. Explicitly set the status
word to 1 after initializing the mii. This would result in an interface
that would never respond to "if_start" requests as the mii interface
would always look down.
nmi handler is used to stop other processors, nmi hander calls trap(),
however, trap() now accepts a pointer rather than a reference, this was
changed by kmacy@.

It always called MH_ALIGN for small lengths being
prepended (less than MHLEN). This meant that if you did
a prepend on a non M_PKTHDR the system would panic with
the KASSERT in MH_ALIGN. Instead we are not aware of
this and do a MH_ALIGN or M_ALIGN as appropriate.
