Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys. Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1. The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(), to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers, while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value. Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures, get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope for this work. Changes to cam/, dev/ahci, dev/ata, dev/mpr, dev/mpt, dev/mvs, dev/siis, where either submitted by, or based on changes by mav.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
