pmap_enter_locked() implementation was very ambiguous and confusing.

Using PVF_MOD, PVF_REF and PVF_EXEC is redundant as we can get the proper
info from PTE bits.
When the mapping is marked as executable and has been referenced we assume
that it has been executed. Similarly, when the mapping is set to be writable
and is referenced, it must have been due to write access to it.
PVF_MOD and PVF_REF flags are kept just for pmap_clearbit() usage,
to pass the information on which bit should be cleared.

Use pmap_find_pv if needed instead of multiplying its code throughout
pmap-v6.
Avoid possible NULL pointer dereference in pmap_enter_locked()
When trying to get m->md.pv_memattr, make sure that m != NULL,
in particular that vector_page is set to be NULL.
Do not set PGA_REFERENCED flag in pmap_enter_pv().
On ARM any new page reference will result in either entering the new
mapping by calling pmap_enter, etc. or fixing-up the existing mapping in
pmap_fault_fixup().
Therefore we set PGA_REFERENCED flag in the earlier mentioned cases and
setting it later in pmap_enter_pv() is just waste of cycles.
Delete unused pm_pdir pointer from the pmap structure.
Rearrange brackets in the fault cause detection in trap.c
Place the brackets correctly in order to see course of the conditions
instantaneously.
Unify naming in pmap-v6.c and improve style
Use naming common for whole pmap and compatible with other pmaps,
improve style where possible:
pm -> pmap
pg -> m
opg -> om
*pt -> *ptep
*pte -> *ptep
*pde -> *pdep

bit in PTE.
Enable Access Flag in CPU control. With AF enabled each valid mapping
needs to have referenced bit in PTE set in order to be able to cache
it in the TLB.
AP[0] bit is to be used as reference flag.
All access permissions are encoded by AP[2:1] wherein AP[1] is in fact
"user enable" and AP[2](APX) is "write disable".
All mappings are always set to be valid. Reference emulation is performed
by setting/clearing reference flag in PTE.
md.pvh_attrs are no longer necessary however pv_flags are still being used
for now.
Marking vm_page as "dirty" or "referenced" is being performed on:
- page or flag fault servicing in pmap_fault_fixup(), basing on the fault
type
- vm_fault servicing in pmap_enter() according to the desired protections
and faulty access type
Redundant page marking has been removed as on ARM we know exactly when the
particular page is referenced or is going to be written.

o Relax locking assertions for pmap_enter_object() and add them also
to architectures that currently don't have any
o Introduce VM_OBJECT_LOCK_DOWNGRADE() which is basically a downgrade
operation on the per-object rwlock
o Use all the mechanisms above to make vm_map_pmap_enter() to work
mostl of the times only with readlocks.

PV entries are now roughly half the size.
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 28 byte pv entries
(two 8-byte tailq nodes, a 4 byte pointer, a 4 byte address and 4 byte
flags), we allocate a page at a time per process.
This provides 252 pv entries per process (actually, per pmap address space)
and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since we now can track
per-process pv entries implicitly.
The pointer to the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to
find the metadata on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by
all 252 entries. There is an 8-int bitmap for the freelist of those 252
entries.
When in serious low memory condition, allocation of another pv_chunk is
possible by freeing some pages in pmap_pv_reclaim().
Added pv_entry/pv_chunk related statistics to pmap.
pv_entry/pv_chunk statistics can be accessed via sysctl vm.pmap.
Ported PTE freelist of KVA allocation and maintenance from i386.
Using an idea from Stephan Uphoff, use the empty pte's that correspond
to the unused kva in the pv memory block to thread a freelist through.
This allows us to free pages that used to be used for pv entry chunks
since we can now track holes in the kva memory block.
As both ARM pmap.c and pmap-v6.c use the same header and pv_entry, pmap and
md_page structures are different, it was needed to separate code designed
for ARMv6/7 from the one for other ARMs.

EABI ARM kernels or clang-compiled ARM kernels.
This fixes a crash seen in clang-compiled ARM
kernels that include WITNESS.
This code could be easily modified to walk the stack
for current clang-generated code (including EABI)
but Andrew Turner has raised concerns that the
stack frame currently emitted by clang isn't actually
required by EABI so such a change might cause problems
down the road.
In case anyone wants to experiment, the change
to support current clang-compiled kernels
involves simply setting FR_RFP=0 and FR_SCP=1.

Keep following access permissions:
APX AP Kernel User
1 01 R N
1 10 R R
0 01 R/W N
0 11 R/W R/W
Avoid using reserved in ARMv6 APX|AP settings:
- In case of unprivileged (user) access without permission to write,
the access permission bits were being set to reserved for ARMv6
(but valid for ARMv7) value of APX|AP = 111.
Fix-up faulting userland accesses properly:
- Wrong condition statement in pmap_fault_fixup() caused that
any genuine, unprivileged access was being fixed-up instead of
just skip doing anything and return. Staring from now we ensure
proper reaction for illicit user accesses.
L2_S_PROT_R and L2_S_PROT_U names might be misleading as they do not
reflect real permission levels. It will be clarified in following

Also insert STOP_UNWINDING in the exception_exit routine, to prevent an
