1707d41102 These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme.  The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface.  Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache.  Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code.  Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now.  Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code.  This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code.  No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency.  Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.  Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

52b4dc9c30 Stuff object into v_vmdata rather than pager. Not important which at
the moment, but will be in the future. Other changes mostly cosmetic,
but are made for future VMIO considerations.

c3e4945541 All of this is cosmetic. prototypes, #includes, printfs and so on. Makes
GCC a lot more silent.

c87abe4536 Moved over my fix for vnode lossage when multiple TIOCSCTTY ioctls are
done. This patch was extended to also include a suggested change by
Kirk McKusick which allows the control tty to be reasigned to a different
tty without losing a vnode.
