3d8c7d4cab 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.)

5596676e6c 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!)

e0dbc46fb0 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.

b923e2f3e6 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__.

1cf218e40f 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.
