Added hook for pmap_prefault() and use symbolic constant for new third
argument to vm_page_alloc() (vm_fault.c, various)
Changed the way that upages and page tables are held. (vm_glue.c)
Fixed architectural flaw in allocating pages at interrupt time that was
introduced with the merged cache changes. (vm_page.c, various)
Adjusted some algorithms to acheive better paging performance and to
accomodate the fix for the architectural flaw mentioned above. (vm_pageout.c)
Fixed pbuf handling problem, changed policy on handling read-behind page.
(vnode_pager.c)

implemented the ability to limit bufferspace by memory consumed. (vfs_bio.c)
Fixed recently introduced bugs that caused extra I/O to happen in some
cases. (vfs_cluster.c)

Moved various pmap 'bit' test/set functions back into real functions; gcc
generates better code at the expense of more of it. (pmap.c)
Fixed a deadlock problem with pv entry allocations (pmap.c)
Added a new, optional function 'pmap_prefault' that does clustered page
table preloading (pmap.c)
Changed the way that page tables are held onto (trap.c).

problems in the process:
1. Quoting should work properly now. In particular, Chet's reported bash
make problem has gone away.
2. A lot of memory that just wasn't being free'd after use is now freed.
This should cause make to take up a LOT less memory when dealing with
archive targets.
3. Give proper credit to Adam de Boor in a number of files.

This command is required to exist in terms of compatibility with the
Posix 1003.2 specification. It actually invokes the lpr service with
the proper options.
page flipping anytime soon and 4k just wastes memory. Performance via the
looback interface will decrease slightly by this change. Idealy, we need
buffers that can have variable sizes, but this requires a rewrite of far
too much code at the moment.
