no longer any need for the page's PG_CACHED and PG_FREE flags to be set and
cleared while the free page queues lock is held. Thus, vm_page_alloc(),
vm_page_alloc_contig(), and vm_page_alloc_freelist() can wait until after
the free page queues lock is released to clear the page's flags. Moreover,
the PG_FREE flag can be retired. Now that the reservation system no longer
uses it, its only uses are in a few assertions. Eliminating these
assertions is no real loss. Other assertions catch the same types of
misbehavior, like doubly freeing a page (see r260032) or dirtying a free
page (free pages are invalid and only valid pages can be dirtied).
Eliminate an unneeded variable from vm_page_alloc_contig().

- Change v_free_target to include the quantity previously represented by
v_cache_min so we don't need to add them together everywhere we use them.
- Add a pageout_wakeup_thresh that sets the free page count trigger for
waking the page daemon. Set this 10% above v_free_min so we wakeup before
any phase transitions in vm users.
- Adjust down v_free_target now that we're willing to accept more pagedaemon
wakeups. This means we process fewer pages in one iteration as well,
leading to shorter lock hold times and less overall disruption.
- Eliminate vm_pageout_page_stats(). This was a minor variation on the
PQ_ACTIVE segment of the normal pageout daemon. Instead we now process
1 / vm_pageout_update_period pages every second. This causes us to visit
the whole active list every 60 seconds. Previously we would only maintain
the active LRU when we were short on pages which would mean it could be
woefully out of date.

additional information, when the page is guaranteed to not belong to a
paging queue. Usually, this results in a lot of type casts which make
reasoning about the code correctness harder.
Sometimes m->object is used instead of pageq, which could cause real
and confusing bugs if non-NULL m->object is leaked. See r141955 and
r253140 for examples.
Change the pageq member into a union containing explicitly-typed
members. Use them instead of type-punning or abusing m->object in x86

On architectures supporting direct mapping, also avoid to pre-allocate
the KVA for such nodes.
In order to do so make the operations derived from vm_radix_insert()
to fail and handle all the deriving failure of those.
vm_radix-wise introduce a new function called vm_radix_replace(),
which can replace a leaf node, already present, with a new one,
and take into account the possibility, during vm_radix_insert()
allocation, that the operations on the radix trie can recurse.
This means that if operations in vm_radix_insert() recursed
vm_radix_insert() will start from scratch again.

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

into threads each processing queue in a single domain. The structure
of the pagedaemons and queues is kept intact, most of the changes come
from the need for code to find an owning page queue for given page,
calculated from the segment containing the page.
The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.
The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.
Launder is modified to take into account the segments layout with
regard to the region for which cleaning is performed.

clearing the page's PGA_REFERENCED flag. Since we are typically
manipulating the page's act_count field when we are clearing its
PGA_REFERENCED flag, the page lock is already held everywhere that we clear
the PGA_REFERENCED flag. So, in fact, this revision only changes some
comments and an assertion. Nonetheless, it will enable later changes to
object locking in the pageout code.
Introduce vm_page_assert_locked(), which completely hides the implementation
details of the page lock from the caller, and use it in
vm_page_aflag_clear(). (The existing vm_page_lock_assert() could not be
used in vm_page_aflag_clear().) Over the coming weeks, I expect that we'll
either eliminate or replace the various uses of vm_page_lock_assert() with
vm_page_assert_locked().

because the queue itself serves no purpose. When a held page is freed,
inserting the page into the hold queue has the side effect of setting the
page's "queue" field to PQ_HOLD. Later, when the page is unheld, it will
be freed because the "queue" field is PQ_HOLD. In other words, PQ_HOLD is
used as a flag, not a queue. So, this change replaces it with a flag.
To accomodate the new page flag, make the page's "flags" field wider and
"oflags" field narrower.

Change the vm_page_readahead_finish() interface to not take the error

page only by its validity. As result, not requested invalid pages are
freed even if the read RPC indicated success.
