5df87b21d3 Replace kernel virtual address space allocation with vmem. This provides
transparent layering and better fragmentation.

 - Normalize functions that allocate memory to use kmem_*
 - Those that allocate address space are named kva_*
 - Those that operate on maps are named kmap_*
 - Implement recursive allocation handling for kmem_arena in vmem.

05d9035003 Create an architecture-agnostic buffer pool manager that uses uma(9) to
manage a set of power-of-2 sized buffers for bus_dmamem_alloc().

This allows the caller to provide the back-end allocator uma allocator,
allowing full control of the memory pages backing the pool.  For
convenience, it provides an optional builtin allocator that provides pages
allocated with the VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHEABLE attribute, for managing pools of
DMA buffers for BUS_DMA_COHERENT or BUS_DMA_NOCACHE.

This also allows the caller to specify a minimum alignment, and it ensures
that all buffers start on a boundary and have a length that's a multiple of
that value, to avoid using buffers that trigger partial cache line flushes.
