The hold_count and wire_count fields of struct vm_page are separate reference counters with similar semantics. The remaining essential differences are that holds are not counted as a reference with respect to LRU, and holds have an implicit free-on-last unhold semantic whereas vm_page_unwire() callers must explicitly determine whether to free the page once the last reference to the page is released. This change removes the KPIs which directly manipulate hold_count. Functions such as vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() now return wired pages instead. Since r328977 the overhead of maintaining LRU for wired pages is lower, and in many cases vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() callers would swap holds for wirings on the returned pages anyway, so with this change we remove a number of page lock acquisitions. No functional change is intended. __FreeBSD_version is bumped.

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.
