by myself. It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur
with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used. This code has been
heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current. An MFC
will occur in a few days. My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry()
and minor buffer cache boundry case fix.
Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a
normal map.
Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps. There were cases
where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally
harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places
where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted
maps.
Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that
could result in non-optimal code.
Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation'
of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map. Previously only a simple
linear optimization was made. (The buffer vm_map typically has only a
handful of vm_map_entry's. This stabilizes it at that level permanently).

- If possible, context switch to the thread directly in sched_ithd(),
rather than triggering a delayed ast reschedule.
- Disable interrupts while restoring fpu state in the trap handler,
in order to ensure that we are not preempted in the middle, which
could cause migration to another cpu.

up to 1.5GB.
Wishlist: It would be nice to warn if MAXTSIZ + MAXDSIZ + MAXSSIZ
exceeds VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS - VM_MINUSER_ADDRESS.
incompletely converting simplelocks to mutexes (COM_LOCK() is supposed
to hide the SMP locking internals, but it now depends on mutex interfaces
being visible).
problem is that a mutex lock, prior to this change, is acquired before
the curproc is set to idleproc, so we mess ourselves up by calling
the mutex lock routine with curproc == NULL.
Moving it up after the aps_ready spin-wait has us hopefully setting it
after idleproc is setup.

instead of a trapframe directly. (Requested by bde.)
- Convert the alpha switch_trampoline to call fork_exit() and use the MI
fork_return() instead of child_return().
- Axe child_return().
that name as a variable. Use mtx_owned(&Giant) where appropriate
instead.
- Proc locking.
- P_FOO -> PS_FOO.
- Update comments about enable interrupts during trap and why this may be
bad if we trap while holding a spin mutex.
- Don't bother resetting p to curproc in syscall() in case we are the child
returning from fork. The child hasn't returned from fork through syscall
in a while.
- Remove fork_return() as it has been superseded by the MI version.
