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.

do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations. For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used. The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.
Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to

For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added

upon pmap_enter() to create a mapping within a different address space,
i.e., not the thread's own address space. On i386, this entails the
creation of a temporary mapping to the affected page table page (PTP). In
general, pmap_enter() will read from this PTP, allocate a PV entry, and
write to this PTP. The trouble comes when the system is short of memory.
In order to allocate a new PV entry, an older PV entry has to be
reclaimed. Reclaiming a PV entry involves destroying a mapping, which
requires access to the affected PTP. Thus, the PTP mapped at the
beginning of pmap_enter() is no longer mapped at the end of pmap_enter(),
which leads to pmap_enter() modifying the wrong PTP. To address this
problem, pmap_pv_reclaim() is changed to use an alternate method of
mapping PTPs.

pmap_unmapdev()'s own direct efforts to destroy the page table entries are
redundant, so eliminate them.
Don't set PTE_W on the page table entry in pmap_kenter{,_attr}() on MIPS.
Setting PTE_W on MIPS is inconsistent with the implementation of this
function on other architectures. Moreover, PTE_W should not be set, unless
the pmap's wired mapping count is incremented, which pmap_kenter{,_attr}()
doesn't do.

maintains an LRU-ordered list of pv entry pages, and pmap_pv_reclaim() uses
this list to select pv entries for reclamation.
Note: The old pmap_collect() tried to avoid reclaiming mappings for pages
that have either a hold_count or a busy field that is non-zero. However,
this isn't necessary for correctness, and the locking in pmap_collect() was
insufficient to guarantee that such mappings weren't reclaimed. The new
pmap_pv_reclaim() doesn't even try.
