plus the previous changes to use the zone allocator decrease the useage
of malloc by half. The Zone allocator will be upgradeable to be able
to use per CPU-pools, and has more intelligent usage of SPLs. Additionally,
it has reasonable stats gathering capabilities, while making most calls
inline.

Also make the vfs.nfs.async variable do the 'right' thing for NFSv3, i.e.

The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.
The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.
The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.
vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.
