- Add a parameter to vm_pageout_flush() that tells vm_pageout_flush()
whether its caller has locked the vm_object. (This is a temporary
measure to bootstrap vm_object locking.)
vm_object_pip_add() and vm_object_pip_wakeup().
- Remove GIANT_REQUIRED from vm_object_pip_subtract() and
vm_object_pip_subtract().
- Lock the vm_object when performing vm_object_page_remove().
where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

Discussed with: re, phk (cdevsw change)
- Add a mtx_destroy() to vm_object_collapse(). (This allows a bzero()
to migrate from _vm_object_allocate() to vm_object_zinit(), where it
will be performed less often.)
comes along and flushes a file which has been mmap()'d SHARED/RW, with
dirty pages, it was flushing the underlying VM object asynchronously,
resulting in thousands of 8K writes. With this change the VM Object flushing
code will cluster dirty pages in 64K blocks.
Note that until the low memory deadlock issue is reviewed, it is not safe
to allow the pageout daemon to use this feature. Forced pageouts still
use fs block size'd ops for the moment.

indirectly through vm_page_protect(). The one remaining page flag that
is updated by vm_page_protect() is already being updated by our various
pmap implementations.
Note: A later commit will similarly change the VM_PROT_READ case and
eliminate vm_page_protect().
be no major change in performance from this change at this time but this
will allow other work to progress: Giant lock removal around VM system
in favor of per-object mutexes, ranged fsyncs, more optimal COMMIT rpc's for
NFS, partial filesystem syncs by the syncer, more optimal object flushing,
etc. Note that the buffer cache is already using a similar splay tree
mechanism.
Note that a good chunk of the old hash table code is still in the tree.
Alan or I will remove it prior to the release if the new code does not
introduce unsolvable bugs, else we can revert more easily.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.
Idea stolen from: BSD/OS
vm_page_sleep_busy() with vm_page_sleep_if_busy(). At the same time,
increase the scope of the page queues lock. (This should significantly
reduce the locking overhead in vm_object_page_remove().)
o Apply some style fixes.
vm_page_rename() from vm_object_backing_scan(). vm_page_rename()
also performs vm_page_deactivate() on pages in the cache queues,
making the removed vm_page_deactivate() redundant.
