on processors that support 1 GB pages. Specifically, if the end of physical
memory is not aligned to a 1 GB page boundary, then map the residual
physical memory with multiple 2 MB page mappings rather than a single 1 GB
page mapping. When a 1 GB page mapping is used for this residual memory,
access to the memory is slower than when multiple 2 MB page mappings are
used. (I suspect that the reason for this slowdown is that the TLB is
actually being loaded with 4 KB page mappings for the residual memory.)

On some architectures UCHAR_MAX and USHRT_MAX had type unsigned int.
However, lacking integer suffixes for types smaller than int, their type
should correspond to that of an object of type unsigned char (or short)
when used in an expression with objects of type int. In that case unsigned
char (short) are promoted to int (i.e. signed) so the type of UCHAR_MAX and
USHRT_MAX should also be int.
Where MIN/MAX constants implicitly have the correct type the suffix has
been removed.

with a comment about why).
This change eliminates the synchronisation problem between GENERIC and
XENHVM, which had become severely rotted in HEAD, and in 8-STABLE
included non-production kernel debugging features such as WITNESS.
However, it comes at the cost of enabling devices and options that may
not be present under Xen (such as random ethernet cards). For now, opt
for a simpler kernel configuration file rather than using nooptions/
nodevice to enumerate and eliminate them. This leads to a somewhat
larger XENHVM kernel.
This is an MFC candidate for 8-STABLE before 8.2, in order to provide
a production-worthy XENHVM kernel configuration for amd64.

Flushing TLBs is required to ensure cache coherency according to the AMD64
architecture manual. Flushing caches is only required when changing from a
cacheable memory type (WB, WP, or WT) to an uncacheable type (WC, UC, or
UC-). Since this function is only used once per processor during startup,
there is no need to take any shortcuts.
- Leave PAT indices 0-3 at the default of WB, WT, UC-, and UC. Program 5 as
WP (from default WT) and 6 as WC (from default UC-). Leave 4 and 7 at the
default of WB and UC. This is to avoid transition from a cacheable memory
type to an uncacheable type to minimize possible cache incoherency. Since
we perform flushing caches and TLBs now, this change may not be necessary
any more but we do not want to take any chances.
- Remove Apple hardware specific quirks. With the above changes, it seems
this hack is no longer needed.
- Improve pmap_cache_bits() with an array to map PAT memory type to index.
This array is initialized early from pmap_init_pat(), so that we do not need
to handle special cases in the function any more. Now this function is
identical on both amd64 and i386.

After KVA space was increased to 512GB on amd64 it became impractical
to use PTEs as entries in the minidump map of dumped pages, because size
of that map alone would already be 1GB.
Instead, we now use PDEs as page map entries and employ two stage lookup
in libkvm: virtual address -> PDE -> PTE -> physical address. PTEs are
now dumped as regular pages. Fixed page map size now is 2MB.
libkvm keeps support for accessing amd64 minidumps of version 1.
Support for 1GB pages is added.
