4daf20b2f1 Increase kernel VA from 256Mb to 512Mb by shifting the segment used
for user copyinout down to 12, and keeping segments 13/14 for
kernel VA.

It would be nice to have more available, but segments lower than
this are reserved for either memory or 1:1 mapped device i/o,
and seg 15 is OpenFirmware ROM. Also, the effort to keep OpenFirmware
available for callbacks limits the use of VA-mapped segments.
Fortunately UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC takes away a lot of VM pressure.

7c2779715c Cleaned up param.h:
- culled long-dead #define's
 - segment register defs moved to sr.h
 - NPMAPS moved to pmap.h
 - KERNBASE moved to vmparam.h
 - removed include of <machine/cpu.h> and fixed src files that
   relied on this.

Modifying segment register code no longer causes gcc rebuilds :-)

db55e39aa1 Implement UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC, since the BAT registers allow direct
addressing of memory. Makes a substantial improvement for apps that
stress the limited amount of KVM on PPC (e.g. untarring the ports tree).
