Marcel Moolenaar 7ef5e8bc80 Better support memory mapped console devices, such as VGA and EFI
frame buffers and memory mapped UARTs.

1.  Delay calling cninit() until after pmap_bootstrap(). This makes
    sure we have PMAP initialized enough to add translations. Keep
    kdb_init() after cninit() so that we have console when we need
    to break into the debugger on boot.
2.  Unfortunately, the ATPIC code had be moved as well so as to
    avoid a spurious trap #30. The reason for which is not known
    at this time.
3.  In pmap_mapdev_attr(), when we need to map a device prior to the
    VM system being initialized, use virtual_avail as the KVA to map
    the device at. In particular, avoid using the direct map on amd64
    because we can't demote by virtue of not being able to allocate
    yet. Keep track of the translation.
    Re-use the translation after the VM has been initialized to not
    waste KVA and to satisfy the assumption in uart(4) that the handle
    returned for the low-level console is the same as later returned
    when the device is probed and attached.
4.  In pmap_unmapdev() remove the mapping from the table when called
    pre-init. Otherwise keep the mapping. During bus probe and attach
    device resources are mapped and unmapped multiple times, which
    would have us destroy the mapping used by the low-level console.
5.  In pmap_init(), set pmap_initialized to signal that we're not
    pre-init anymore. On amd64, bring the direct map in sync with the
    translations created at that time.
6.  Implement bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap() for real: when
    the tag corresponds to memory space, call the corresponding
    pmap_mapdev() and pmap_unmapdev() functions to construct and
    actual handle.
7.  In efifb.c and vt_vga.c, remove the crutches and hacks and simply
    call pmap_mapdev_attr() or bus_space_map() as desired.

Notes:
1.  uart(4) already used bus_space_map() during low-level console
    setup but since serial ports have traditionally been I/O port
    based, the lack of a proper implementation for said function
    was not a problem. It has always supported memory mapped UARTs
    for low-level consoles by setting hw.uart.console accordingly.
2.  The use of the direct map on amd64 without setting caching
    attributes has been a bigger problem than previously thought.
    This change has the fortunate (and unexpected) side-effect of
    fixing various EFI frame buffer problems (though not all).
