There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

These calls are not the same in general: the former will dequeue the
page if it is enqueued, while the latter will just leave it alone. But,
all existing uses of the former apply to unmanaged pages, which are
never enqueued in the first place. No functional change intended.

Change OF_getencprop_alloc semantics to be combination of malloc and
OF_getencprop and return size of the property, not number of elements
allocated.
For the use cases where number of elements is preferred introduce
OF_getencprop_alloc_multi helper function that copies semantics
of OF_getencprop_alloc prior to this change.
This is to make OF_getencprop_alloc and OF_getencprop_alloc_multi
function signatures consistent with OF_getencprop_alloc and
OF_getencprop_alloc_multi.
Functionality-wise this patch is mostly rename of OF_getencprop_alloc
to OF_getencprop_alloc_multi except two calls in ofw_bus_setup_iinfo
where 1 was used as a block size.
Make vm_wait() take the vm_object argument which specifies the domain
set to wait for the min condition pass. If there is no object
associated with the wait, use curthread' policy domainset. The
mechanics of the wait in vm_wait() and vm_wait_domain() is supplied by
the new helper vm_wait_doms(), which directly takes the bitmask of the
domains to wait for passing min condition.
Eliminate pagedaemon_wait(). vm_domain_clear() handles the same
operations.
Eliminate VM_WAIT and VM_WAITPFAULT macros, the direct functions calls
are enough.
Eliminate several control state variables from vm_domain, unneeded
after the vm_wait() conversion.

and host1x module. Unfortunately, tegra124 SoC doesn't have 2D acceleration
engine and 3D requires not yet started nouveau driver.
These drivers forms a first non-x86 DRM2 enabled graphic stack.
Note, there are 2 outstanding issues:
- The code uses gross hack in order to be comply with
OBJT_MGTDEVICE pager. (See tegra_bo_init_pager() in tegra_bo.c)
- Due to improper(probably) refcounting in drm_gem_mmap_single()
(in drm_gem.c), the gem objects are never released.
I hope that I will be able to address both issues in finite time,
but I don't want to touch x86 world now.
