o Reduce the scope of GIANT_REQUIRED in vm_map_insert().
These changes will enable us to remove the acquisition and release
of Giant from obreak().
allocated slabs and bucket caches for free items. It will not go ask the vm
for pages. This differs from M_NOWAIT in that it not only doesn't block, it
doesn't even ask.
- Add a new zcreate option ZONE_VM, that sets the BUCKETCACHE zflag. This
tells uma that it should only allocate buckets out of the bucket cache, and
not from the VM. It does this by using the M_NOVM option to zalloc when
getting a new bucket. This is so that the VM doesn't recursively enter
itself while trying to allocate buckets for vm_map_entry zones. If there
are already allocated buckets when we get here we'll still use them but
otherwise we'll skip it.
- Use the ZONE_VM flag on vm map entries and pv entries on x86.
o Move pmap_pageable() outside of Giant in vm_fault_unwire().
(pmap_pageable() is a no-op on all supported architectures.)
o Remove the acquisition and release of Giant from mlock().
vm_map_user_pageable().
o Remove vm_map_pageable() and vm_map_user_pageable().
o Remove vm_map_clear_recursive() and vm_map_set_recursive(). (They were
only used by vm_map_pageable() and vm_map_user_pageable().)

or user vm_maps. This implementation has two key benefits when compared
to vm_map_{user_,}pageable(): (1) it avoids a race condition through
the use of "in-transition" vm_map entries and (2) it eliminates lock
recursion on the vm_map.
Note: there is still an error case that requires clean up.

or user vm_maps. In accordance with the standards for munlock(2),
and in contrast to vm_map_user_pageable(), this implementation does not
allow holes in the specified region. This implementation uses the
"in transition" flag described below.
o Introduce a new flag, "in transition," to the vm_map_entry.
Eventually, vm_map_delete() and vm_map_simplify_entry() will respect
this flag by deallocating in-transition vm_map_entrys, allowing
the vm_map lock to be safely released in vm_map_unwire() and (the
forthcoming) vm_map_wire().
o Modify vm_map_simplify_entry() to respect the in-transition flag.

the last accessed datum is moved to the root of the splay tree.
Therefore, on lookups in which the hint resulted in O(1) access,
the splay tree still achieves O(1) access. In contrast, on lookups
in which the hint failed miserably, the splay tree achieves amortized
logarithmic complexity, resulting in dramatic improvements on vm_maps
with a large number of entries. For example, the execution time
for replaying an access log from www.cs.rice.edu against the thttpd
web server was reduced by 23.5% due to the large number of files
simultaneously mmap()ed by this server. (The machine in question has
enough memory to cache most of this workload.)
Nothing comes for free: At present, I see a 0.2% slowdown on "buildworld"
due to the overhead of maintaining the splay tree. I believe that
some or all of this can be eliminated through optimizations
to the code.
