for old i386 a.out binaries, where dynamic linker did not specified

The kern.elf32.i386_read_exec MIB name looks weird for a.out binaries,

network file systems (not only NFS proper). Short reads cause pages
other then the requested one, which were not filled by read response,
to stay invalid.
Change the vm_page_readahead_finish() interface to not take the error
code, but instead to make a decision to free or to (de)activate the
page only by its validity. As result, not requested invalid pages are
freed even if the read RPC indicated success.

ago, sleeping on busy pages in vm_pageout_launder() made sense. The call
to vm_pageout_flush() specified asynchronous I/O and sleeping on busy pages
blocked vm_pageout_launder() until the flush had completed. However, in
CVS revision 1.35 of vm/vm_contig.c, the call to vm_pageout_flush() was
changed to request synchronous I/O, but the sleep on busy pages was not
removed.
to pull vm_param.h was removed. Other big dependency of vm_page.h on
vm_param.h are PA_LOCK* definitions, which are only needed for
in-kernel code, because modules use KBI-safe functions to lock the
pages.
Stop including vm_param.h into vm_page.h. Include vm_param.h
explicitely for the kernel code which needs it.

valid. Finally, add a comment summarizing what vm_contig_grow_cache()

VM_KMEM_MAX_SIZE.
The code was not taking into account the size of the kernel_map, which
the kmem_map is allocated from, so it could produce a sub-map size too
large to fit. The simplest solution is to ignore VM_KMEM_MAX entirely
and base the memguard map's size off the kernel_map's size, since this
is always relevant and always smaller.

Dropping the mutex often should allow the other lock acquires to
proceed without waiting for whole inactive scan to finish. On machines
with lot of physical memory scan often need to iterate a lot before it
finishes or finds a page which requires laundring, causing high
latency for other lock waiters.

Use the newly added flags to mark the cache root within the vm_object

This avoids having a nested vm map unlock operation called from the loop

pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.
Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.
As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

First, curproc->p_sysent->sv_stackprot specifies maximum allowed stack

the PROT_ flags should be used which were specified at the mmap(2) call
