sysentvec. This allows the timekeep data to be shared between similar
ABIs which cannot share sysentvec.
Make the timekeep_push_vdso() tick callback to the timekeep structures
instead of sysentvecs. If several sysentvec share the vdso_sv_tk
structure, we would update the userspace data several times on each
tick, without the change.
Only allocate vdso_sv_tk in the exec_sysvec_init() sysinit when
sysentvec is marked with the new SV_TIMEKEEP flag. This saves
allocation and update of unneeded vdso_sv_tk for ABIs which do not
provide userspace gettimeofday yet, which are PowerPCs arches right
now.
Make vdso_sv_tk allocator public, namely split out and export
alloc_sv_tk() and alloc_sv_tk_compat32(). ABIs which share timekeep
data now can allocate it manually and share as appropriate.

of the timehands, from the kern_tc.c implementation to vdso. Add
comments giving hints where to look for the algorithm explanation.
To compensate the removal of rmb() in userspace binuptime(), add
explicit lfence instruction before rdtsc. On i386, add usual
complications to detect SSE2 presence; assume that old CPUs which do
not implement SSE2 also execute rdtsc almost in order.

The flag was mandatory since r209792, where vm_page_grab(9) was
changed to only support the alloc retry semantic.

transparent layering and better fragmentation.
- Normalize functions that allocate memory to use kmem_*
- Those that allocate address space are named kva_*
- Those that operate on maps are named kmap_*
- Implement recursive allocation handling for kmem_arena in vmem.

* VM_OBJECT_LOCK and VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK are mapped to write operations
* VM_OBJECT_SLEEP() is introduced as a general purpose primitve to
get a sleep operation using a VM_OBJECT_LOCK() as protection
* The approach must bear with vm_pager.h namespace pollution so many
files require including directly rwlock.h
