Some hooks are added to clamp down maxusers and nmbclusters for
small address space systems.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_MAXUSERS - the max maxusers that will be autotuned based on
physical memory.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS - max nmbclusters based on physical memory.
These are set to the old values on i386 to preserve the clamping that was
being done to all arches.
Another macro VM_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS is provided to allow an override
for the calculation on a MD basis. Currently no arch defines this.

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the
filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related
macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems.
The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does
not result in the interface signatures changes.

upon pmap_enter() to create a mapping within a different address space,
i.e., not the thread's own address space. On i386, this entails the
creation of a temporary mapping to the affected page table page (PTP). In
general, pmap_enter() will read from this PTP, allocate a PV entry, and
write to this PTP. The trouble comes when the system is short of memory.
In order to allocate a new PV entry, an older PV entry has to be
reclaimed. Reclaiming a PV entry involves destroying a mapping, which
requires access to the affected PTP. Thus, the PTP mapped at the
beginning of pmap_enter() is no longer mapped at the end of pmap_enter(),
which leads to pmap_enter() modifying the wrong PTP. To address this
problem, pmap_pv_reclaim() is changed to use an alternate method of
mapping PTPs.

pmap_unmapdev()'s own direct efforts to destroy the page table entries are
redundant, so eliminate them.
Don't set PTE_W on the page table entry in pmap_kenter{,_attr}() on MIPS.
Setting PTE_W on MIPS is inconsistent with the implementation of this
function on other architectures. Moreover, PTE_W should not be set, unless
the pmap's wired mapping count is incremented, which pmap_kenter{,_attr}()
doesn't do.

generator, found on IvyBridge and supposedly later CPUs, accessible
with RDRAND instruction.
From the Intel whitepapers and articles about Bull Mountain, it seems
that we do not need to perform post-processing of RDRAND results, like
AES-encryption of the data with random IV and keys, which was done for
Padlock. Intel claims that sanitization is performed in hardware.
Make both Padlock and Bull Mountain random generators support code
covered by kernel config options, for the benefit of people who prefer
minimal kernels. Also add the tunables to disable hardware generator
even if detected.

comment describing them. Both the function names and the comment had grown
stale. Quite some time has passed since these pmap implementations last
used the page's hold count to track the number of valid mapping within a
page table page. Also, returning TRUE from pmap_unwire_ptp() rather than
_pmap_unwire_ptp() eliminates a few instructions from callers like
pmap_enter_quick_locked() where pmap_unwire_ptp()'s return value is used
directly by a conditional statement.

While here, tidy some comments and remove some banal ones.
