In order to map memory from other domains when running on Xen FreeBSD uses
unused physical memory regions. Until now this memory has been allocated
using bus_alloc_resource, but this is not completely safe as we can end up
using unreclaimed MMIO or ACPI regions.
Fix this by introducing a new newbus method that can be used by Xen drivers
to request for unused memory regions. On amd64 we make sure this memory
comes from regions above 4GB in order to prevent clashes with MMIO/ACPI
regions. On i386 there's nothing we can do, so just fall back to the
previous mechanism.

Xenstore user-space device has two problems currently:
- It does not correctly handle concurrent clients, because it's storing
each client data in dev->si_drv1.
- It does not correctly free this data when the client closes the device.
In order to solve both of this issues store the per-client data using

Fix a problem where the blockback driver could run out of requests,
despite the fact that we allocate enough request and reqlist
structures to satisfy the maximum possible number of requests.
The problem was that we were sending responses back to the other
end (blockfront) before freeing resources. The Citrix Windows
driver is pretty agressive about queueing, and would queue more I/O
to us immediately after we sent responses to it. We would run into
a resource shortage and stall out I/O until we freed resources.
It isn't clear whether the request shortage condition was an
indirect cause of the I/O hangs we've been seeing between Windows
with the Citrix PV drivers and FreeBSD's blockback, but the above
problem is certainly a bug.

Using unmapped IO is really beneficial when running inside of a VM,
since it avoids IPIs to other vCPUs in order to invalidate the
mappings.
This patch adds unmapped IO support to blkfront. The following tests
results have been obtained when running on a Xen host without HAP:
PVHVM

PVHVM with unmapped IO
2099.46 real 4624.52 user 2967.38 sys
This is because when running using shadow page tables TLB flushes and
range invalidations are much more expensive, so using unmapped IO
provides a very important performance boost.
