Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.
Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.
As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

This is quick and imperfect solution, as swap device will still be opened
and GEOM will not be able to destroy it. Proper solution would be to
automatically turn off and close disconnected swap device, but with existing
code it will cause panic if there is at least one page on device, even if
it is unimportant page of the user-level process. It needs some work.

psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future

forces vm_page_dontneed() to insert the page at the head of the inactive

was invalid, it can't have been mapped, and thus the other effect of
