e602ba25fd Part 1 of KSE-III
The ability to schedule multiple threads per process
(one one cpu) by making ALL system calls optionally asynchronous.
to come: ia64 and power-pc patches, patches for gdb, test program (in tools)

Reviewed by:	Almost everyone who counts
	(at various times, peter, jhb, matt, alfred, mini, bernd,
	and a cast of thousands)

	NOTE: this is still Beta code, and contains lots of debugging stuff.
	expect slight instability in signals..

1a87a0da66 Pass vm_page_t instead of physical addresses to pmap_zero_page[_area]()
and pmap_copy_page().  This gets rid of a couple more physical addresses
in upper layers, with the eventual aim of supporting PAE and dealing with
the physical addressing mostly within pmap.  (We will need either 64 bit
physical addresses or page indexes, possibly both depending on the
circumstances.  Leaving this to pmap itself gives more flexibilitly.)

b40ce4165d KSE Milestone 2
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

3516c025ff Implement idle zeroing of pages. I've been tinkering with this
on and off since John Dyson left his work-in-progress.

It is off by default for now.  sysctl vm.zeroidle_enable=1 to turn it on.

There are some hacks here to deal with the present lack of preemption - we
yield after doing a small number of pages since we wont preempt otherwise.

This is basically Matt's algorithm [with hysteresis] with an idle process
to call it in a similar way it used to be called from the idle loop.

I cleaned up the includes a fair bit here too.

1f246456a5 The i386-specific includes in this file were "fixed" by bracketing them with
#ifndef __alpha__.  Fix this for the rest of the world by turning it into
#ifdef __i386__.

7197571105 Move vm_page_zero_idle() from machine-dependant sections to a
machine-independant source file, vm/vm_zeroidle.c.  It was exactly the
same for all platforms and updating them all was getting annoying.
