This is the missing piece for FreeBSD/Wii, but there's still a lot of
work ahead. We have to reset the MMU in locore before continuing
the boot process because we don't know how the boot loaders might
have setup the BATs. We also disable the PCI BAT because there's no PCI
bus on the Wii.
Thanks to Nathan Whitehorn and Peter Grenhan for their help.

sleep, and perform the page allocations with VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
class. Previously, the allocation was also allowed to completely drain
the reserve of the free pages, being translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
request class for vm_page_alloc() and similar functions.
Allow the caller of malloc* to request the 'deep drain' semantic by
providing M_USE_RESERVE flag, now translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
class. Previously, it resulted in less aggressive VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
allocation class.
Centralize the translation of the M_* malloc(9) flags in the single
inline function malloc2vm_flags().

There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.

relative to the start address (unless the start address is 0, which is
not the case).
This is currently not a problem because all powerpc architectures are
using loader(8) which passes metadata to the kernel including the
correct `endkernel' address. If we don't use loader(8), register 4
and 5 will have the size of the kernel ELF file, not its end address.
We fix that simply by adding `kernel_text' to `end' to compute
`endkernel'.

range operations like pmap_remove() and pmap_protect() as well as allowing
simple operations like pmap_extract() not to involve any global state.
This substantially reduces lock coverages for the global table lock and
improves concurrency.
- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
operations would.
- Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
cpu_switchin().

sequence provides guarantees that do not need to be redundantly applied on

of magnitude reduction in the time required to acquire or release a mutex.

VM_PHYS_TO_PAGE will not return NULL for device memory pages if device
memory is above physical memory even if there is no allocated vm_page.
Attempting to use the returned page could then cause either memory
corruption or a page fault.

manipulation of the pvo_vlink and pvo_olink entries is already protected
by the table lock, so most remaining instances of the acquisition of the
page queues lock can likely be replaced with the table lock, or removed
if the table lock is already held.

is that it possible to take an SLB fault at any time, on any address, for
any reason, at any point in the kernel.
This lets us do two important things. First, it removes the (soft) 16 GB RAM
ceiling on PPC64 as well as any architectural limitations on KVA space.
Second, it lets the kernel tolerate poorly designed hypervisors that
have a tendency to fail to restore the SLB properly after a hypervisor
