- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

By removing support for SimOS it is possible to build LINT on
Alpha, which is considered more important at the moment.

- Changed VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS to be defined in terms of PTDPTDI. In order for
assumptions about the recursive page table map to work it must be the base
of the recursive map. Any pte offset that's not NPTEPG will break these
assumptions.

flag that can be marked on each symmetric op
o eliminate hw.ubsec.maxbatch and hw.ubsec.maxaggr since they are not
needed anymore
o change ubsec_feed to return void instead of int since zero is always
returned and noone ever looked at the return value
instead of allocating another page of kva and mapping it in again. This was
likely an oversight in revision 1.174 (cut and paste from pmap_pinit).

Reading the PCI config space with the wrong (larger) size is not
a problem in this case, but writing can be as it clobbers unrelated
registers. In this case the clobbering is for reserved fields, which
too is mostly harmless... for now. Hence, this change is mostly
preventive in nature.

- Use these instead of the magic constants 1 or PAGE_SIZE where appropriate.
There are still numerous assumptions that the page directory is exactly
1 page.

Security improvements:
- Increase the size of each syncookie secret from 32 to 128 bits
in order to make brute force attacks on the secrets much more
difficult.
- Always return the lowest order dword from the MD5 hash; this
allows us to expose 2 more bits of the cookie and makes ACK
floods which seek to guess the cookie value more difficult.
Performance improvements:
- Increase the lifetime of each syncookie from 4 seconds to 16
seconds. This increases the usefulness of syncookies during
an attack.
- From Yahoo!: Reduce the number of calls to MD5Update; this
results in a ~17% increase in cookie generation time here.
