Fixed long standing bug in freeing swap space during object collapses.
Fixed 'out of space' messages from printing out too often.
Modified to use new kmem_malloc() calling convention.
Implemented an additional stat in the swap pager struct to count the
amount of space allocated to that pager. This may be removed at some
point in the future.
Minimized unnecessary wakeups.
vm_fault.c:
Don't try to collect fault stats on 'swapped' processes - there aren't
any upages to store the stats in.
Changed read-ahead policy (again!).
vm_glue.c:
Be sure to gain a reference to the process's map before swapping.
Be sure to lose it when done.
kern_malloc.c:
Added the ability to specify if allocations are at interrupt time or
are 'safe'; this affects what types of pages can be allocated.
vm_map.c:
Fixed a variety of map lock problems; there's still a lurking bug that
will eventually bite.
vm_object.c:
Explicitly initialize the object fields rather than bzeroing the struct.
Eliminated the 'rcollapse' code and folded it's functionality into the
"real" collapse routine.
Moved an object_unlock() so that the backing_object is protected in
the qcollapse routine.
Make sure nobody fools with the backing_object when we're destroying it.
Added some diagnostic code which can be called from the debugger that
looks through all the internal objects and makes certain that they
all belong to someone.
vm_page.c:
Fixed a rather serious logic bug that would result in random system
crashes. Changed pagedaemon wakeup policy (again!).
vm_pageout.c:
Removed unnecessary page rotations on the inactive queue.
Changed the number of pages to explicitly free to just free_reserved
level.

Added hook for pmap_prefault() and use symbolic constant for new third
argument to vm_page_alloc() (vm_fault.c, various)
Changed the way that upages and page tables are held. (vm_glue.c)
Fixed architectural flaw in allocating pages at interrupt time that was
introduced with the merged cache changes. (vm_page.c, various)
Adjusted some algorithms to acheive better paging performance and to
accomodate the fix for the architectural flaw mentioned above. (vm_pageout.c)
Fixed pbuf handling problem, changed policy on handling read-behind page.

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.

- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
