returns bogus values for requests beyond the file EOF rather then returning
an error, resulting in either corrupt data being mmap()'d beyond the file EOF

would sometimes prevent a dirty page from being cleaned, even when synced,
resulting in the dirty page being re-flushed to disk every 30-60 seconds or
so, forever. The problem is that when the filesystem flushes a page to
its backing file it typically does not clear dirty bits representing areas
of the page that are beyond the file EOF. If the file is also mmap()'d and
a fault is taken, vm_fault (properly, is required to) set the vm_page_t->dirty
bits to VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL. This combination could leave us with an uncleanable,
unfreeable page.
The solution is to have the vnode_pager detect the edge case and manually
clear the dirty bits representing areas beyond the file EOF. The filesystem
does the rest and the page comes up clean after the write completes.

and can be overriden with two new kernel conf variables VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX
and VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX, or with loader variables kern.maxswzone and
kern.maxbcache. This has the effect of leaving more KVM available for
sizing NMBCLUSTERS and 'maxusers' and should avoid tripups where a sysad
adds memory to a machine and then sees the kernel panic on boot due to
running out of KVM.
Also change the default swap-meta auto-sizing calculation to allocate half
of what it was previously allocating. The prior defaults were way too high.
Note that we cannot afford to run out of swap-meta structures so we still
stay somewhat conservative here.

For many diskless configurations is is more flexible to have the

formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal

before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.
