e8ae50d444 Flip the semantic of M_NOWAIT to only require the allocation to not
sleep, and perform the page allocations with VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
class. Previously, the allocation was also allowed to completely drain
the reserve of the free pages, being translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
request class for vm_page_alloc() and similar functions.

Allow the caller of malloc* to request the 'deep drain' semantic by
providing M_USE_RESERVE flag, now translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT
class. Previously, it resulted in less aggressive VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM
allocation class.

Centralize the translation of the M_* malloc(9) flags in the single
inline function malloc2vm_flags().

4eb3d8da4b Reduce KVA pressure on OEA64 systems running in bridge mode by mapping
UMA segments at their physical addresses instead of into KVA. This emulates
the direct mapping behavior of OEA32 in an ad-hoc way. To make this work
properly required sharing the entire kernel PMAP with Open Firmware, so
ofw_pmap is transformed into a stub on 64-bit CPUs.

Also implement some more tweaks to get more mileage out of our limited
amount of KVA, principally by extending KVA into segment 16 until the
beginning of the first OFW mapping.

ef1e56b6d4 Add support for 64-bit PowerPC CPUs operating in the 64-bit bridge mode
provided, for example, on the PowerPC 970 (G5), as well as on related CPUs
like the POWER3 and POWER4.

This also adds support for various built-in hardware found on Apple G5
hardware (e.g. the IBM CPC925 northbridge).

20b10da706 It has been observed on the mailing lists that the different categories
of pages don't sum to anywhere near the total number of pages on amd64.
This is for the most part because uma_small_alloc() pages have never been
counted as wired pages, like their kmem_malloc() brethren.  They should
be.  This changes fixes that.

It is no longer necessary for the page queues lock to be held to free
pages allocated by uma_small_alloc().  I removed the acquisition and
release of the page queues lock from uma_small_free() on amd64 and ia64
weeks ago.  This patch updates the other architectures that have
uma_small_alloc() and uma_small_free().

686d1f228e Implement UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC, since the BAT registers allow direct
addressing of memory. Makes a substantial improvement for apps that
stress the limited amount of KVM on PPC (e.g. untarring the ports tree).
