Reading from Write Combining memory can be very-very slow. Try to use
shadow buffer to avoid such reads.

Introduce new MSGBUF_WRAP flag, indicating that buffer has wrapped
at least once and does not keep zeroes from the last msgbuf_clear().
It allows msgbuf_peekbytes() to return only real data, not requiring
every consumer to trim the leading zeroes after doing pointless copy.
The most visible effect is that kern.msgbuf sysctl now always returns
proper zero-terminated string, not only after the first buffer wrap.

As part of decommissioning mips support, remove the boot loader
support. Do this in advance of other boot loader work to limit the
amount of work that will be thrown away.

The elf loader needs to know how to reach into the gfx_fb code, so
simplify how we include files to find that stuff.

In pmap_ts_referenced we read the virtual address from pv->pv_va,
but then continue to use the pv struct to get the same value later
in the function.
Use the virtual address value we initially read rather than loading
from the pv struct each time.
Add an idletime user group that allows non-root users to run processes
with idle scheduling priority. Privileges are granted by a MAC policy in
the mac_priority module. For this purpose, the kernel privilege
PRIV_SCHED_IDPRIO was added to sys/priv.h (kernel module ABI change).
Deprecate the system wide sysctl(8) knob
security.bsd.unprivileged_idprio which lets any user run idle priority
processes, regardless of context. While the knob is still working, it is
marked as deprecated in the description and in the man pages.
