Each plaform performs virtual memory split between kernel and user space
and assigns kernel certain amount of memory space. However, is is sometimes
reasonable to change the default values. Such situation may happen on
systems where the demand for kernel buffers is high, many devices occupying
memory etc. This of course comes with the cost of decreasing user space
memory range so shall be used with care. Most embedded systems will not
suffer from this limtation but rather take advantage of this potential
since default behavior is left unchanged.

the data the inline functions access together at the start of the bus_space
struct. The start-of part isn't so important, it's the grouping-together
that's the point: now all the most-accessed data should be in one cache line.

every operation to retrieve the bs_cookie value almost nothing actually uses.
The bus_space struct contains a private data pointer (poorly named bs_cookie,
now renamed to bs_privdata) which is used only by a few old armv4 xscale
implementations. The bus_space functions were all defined to take this
value as the first parameter instead of the bus_space_tag_t, requiring all
the inline macro and function expansions to dereference the tag to pass it
to another function, which never uses it. Now all the functions take the tag
as the first parameter and retrieve the privdata if they need it.
Also fix a couple bus_space_unmap() implementations that were calling
kva_free() instead of pmap_unmapdev().

identical and simply redefine a number of constants and helper subroutines;
a generic implementation will make it easier to implement features around
kernel core dumps. This change does not alter any minidump code and should
have no functional impact.

The ancient gas we've been using interprets .align 0 as align to the
minimum required alignment for the current section. Clang's integrated
assembler interprets it as align to a byte boundary. Fortunately both
assemblers interpret a non-zero value as align to 2^N so just make sure
we have appropriate non-zero values everywhere.
The elftoolchain project includes these additional defines for various
userland programs. Given that arch-specific defines are still interesting
in the context of userland programs reading or writing ELF metadata, they
should be included in top-level ELF headers.
Remove duplicate defines from ARM and MIPS elf headers.

except the flush-all and invalidate-all routines which are required only
during early kernel init.
These inline functions should be very much faster than the old mechanism
that involved jumping through the big cpufuncs table, especially for
common operations such as invalidating a single TLB entry. Note that
nothing is calling these yet, this just is just required infrastructure
for upcoming changes to the pmap-v6 code.

only ARM_MMU_V6 was fixed, this time it's ARM_ARCH_V6 (and this time I
