these kernel configuration files.

on sparc64 to deactivate the vmspace of the exiting process on all cpus.
Otherwise if another unrelated process gets the exact same vmspace structure
allocated to it (same address), its address space will not be activated
properly. This seems to fix some spontaneous signal 11 problems with smp

This changes

foo = RQB_FFS(mask) - 1;

On some platforms we can get the "- 1" for free, eg: those that use the
C code for ffs64().

that the virtual cachability of these mappings can be tracked when a page
is mapped to more than one virtual address. All virtually cachable
mappings of a physical page must have the same virtual colour, or illegal
alises can be created in the data cache. This is a bit tricky because we
still have to recognize managed and unmanaged mappings, even though they
are all on the pv lists.
