This API allows callers to enumerate all known pages, including any
direct map & kernel map virtual addresses, physical addresses, size,
offset into the core, & protection configured.
For architectures that support direct map addresses, also generate pages
for any direct map only addresses that are not associated with kernel
map addresses.
Fix page size portability issue left behind from previous kvm page table
lookup interface.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Instead of using a hash table to convert physical page addresses to offsets
in the sparse page array, cache the number of bits set for each 4MB chunk of
physical pages. Upon lookup, find the nearest cached population count, then
add/subtract the number of bits from that point to the page's PTE bit.
Then multiply by page size and add to the sparse page map's base offset.
This replaces O(n) worst-case lookup with O(1) (plus a small number of bits
to scan in the bitmap). Also, for a 128GB system, a typical kernel core of
about 8GB will now only require ~4.5MB of RAM for this approach instead of
~48MB as with the hash table.
More concretely, /usr/sbin/crashinfo against the same core improves from a
max RSS of 188MB and wall time of 43.72s (33.25 user 2.94 sys) to 135MB and
9.43s (2.58 user 1.47 sys). Running "thread apply all bt" in kgdb has a
similar RSS improvement, and wall time drops from 4.44s to 1.93s.
