Colin Percival 34caa842a4 Autotune the number of pages set aside for UMA startup based on the number
of CPUs present.  On amd64 this unbreaks the boot for systems with 92 or
more CPUs; the limit will vary on other systems depending on the size of
their uma_zone and uma_cache structures.

The major consumer of pages during UMA startup is the 19 zone structures
which are set up before UMA has bootstrapped itself sufficiently to use
the rest of the available memory:  UMA Slabs, UMA Hash, 4 / 6 / 8 / 12 /
16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 Bucket, vmem btag, VM OBJECT, RADIX NODE, MAP,
KMAP ENTRY, MAP ENTRY, VMSPACE, and fakepg.  If the zone structures occupy
more than one page, they will not share pages and the number of pages
currently needed for startup is 19 * pages_per_zone + N, where N is the
number of pages used for allocating other structures; on amd64 N = 3 at
present (2 pages are allocated for UMA Kegs, and one page for UMA Hash).

This patch adds a new definition UMA_BOOT_PAGES_ZONES, currently set to 32,
and if a zone structure does not fit into a single page sets boot_pages to
UMA_BOOT_PAGES_ZONES * pages_per_zone instead of UMA_BOOT_PAGES (which
remains at 64).  Consequently this patch has no effect on systems where the
zone structure fits into 2 or fewer pages (on amd64, 59 or fewer CPUs), but
increases boot_pages sufficiently on systems where the large number of CPUs
makes this structure larger.  It seems safe to assume that systems with 60+
CPUs can afford to set aside an additional 128kB of memory per 32 CPUs.

The vm.boot_pages tunable continues to override this computation, but is
unlikely to be necessary in the future.

Tested on:	EC2 x1.32xlarge
Relnotes:	FreeBSD can now boot on 92+ CPU systems without requiring
		vm.boot_pages to be manually adjusted.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
