8d05d984e8 Simplify the assignment of memory to virtual machines by requiring a single
command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size.

Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of
memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>).

The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'.

The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed
using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in
special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by
libvmmapi.

3a9eeaa765 Implement guest vcpu pinning using 'pthread_setaffinity_np(3)'.
Prior to this change pinning was implemented via an ioctl (VM_SET_PINNING)
that called 'sched_bind()' on behalf of the user thread.

The ULE implementation of 'sched_bind()' bumps up 'td_pinned' which in turn
runs afoul of the assertion '(td_pinned == 0)' in userret().

Using the cpuset affinity to implement pinning of the vcpu threads works with
both 4BSD and ULE schedulers and has the happy side-effect of getting rid
of a bunch of code in vmm.ko.

ed9d132c4e Rename vmmctl to bhyvectl. 'vmmctl' came from a pre-bhyve
internal codebase at NetApp. No need for it to have an
unrelated name to the other userspace utils.
