pmap_growkernel() may be called when mapping a region above KERNBASE, typically for a kernel module. If we have enough PTPs left over from bootstrap, pmap_growkernel() does nothing. However, it's possible to run out, and in this case pmap_growkernel() will try to grow the kernel map all the way from kernel_vm_end to somewhere past KERNBASE, which can easily run the system out of memory. This happens with large kernel modules such as the nvidia GPU driver. There is also a WIP dtrace provider which needs to map KVA in the region above KERNBASE (to provide trampolines which allow a copy of traced kernel instruction to be executed), and its allocations could potentially trigger this scenario. This change modifies pmap_growkernel() to manage the two regions separately, allowing them to grow independently. The end of the KERNBASE region is tracked by modifying "nkpt".
