additional information, when the page is guaranteed to not belong to a
paging queue. Usually, this results in a lot of type casts which make
reasoning about the code correctness harder.
Sometimes m->object is used instead of pageq, which could cause real
and confusing bugs if non-NULL m->object is leaked. See r141955 and
r253140 for examples.
Change the pageq member into a union containing explicitly-typed
members. Use them instead of type-punning or abusing m->object in x86
pmaps, uma and vm_page_alloc_contig().

On architectures supporting direct mapping, also avoid to pre-allocate
the KVA for such nodes.
In order to do so make the operations derived from vm_radix_insert()
to fail and handle all the deriving failure of those.
vm_radix-wise introduce a new function called vm_radix_replace(),
which can replace a leaf node, already present, with a new one,
and take into account the possibility, during vm_radix_insert()
allocation, that the operations on the radix trie can recurse.
This means that if operations in vm_radix_insert() recursed
vm_radix_insert() will start from scratch again.

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.

random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:

+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah

probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.

Issues were noted by Bruce Evans and are present on all architectures.
On i386, a counter fetch should use atomic read of 64bit value,
otherwise carry from the increment on other CPU could be lost for the
given fetch, making error of 2^32. If 64bit read (cmpxchg8b) is not
available on the machine, it cannot be SMP and it is enough to disable
preemption around read to avoid the split read.
On x86 the counter increment is not atomic on purpose, which makes it
possible for the store of the incremented result to override just
zeroed per-cpu slot. The effect would be a counter going off by
arbitrary value after zeroing. Perform the counter zeroing on the
same processor which does the increments, making the operations
mutually exclusive. On i386, same as for the fetching, if the
cmpxchg8b is not available, machine is not SMP and we disable
preemption for zeroing.
PowerPC64 is treated the same as amd64.
For other architectures, the changes made to allow the compilation to
succeed, without fixing the issues with zeroing or fetching. It
should be possible to handle them by using the 64bit loads and stores
atomic WRT preemption (assuming the architectures also converted from
using critical sections to proper asm). If architecture does not
provide the facility, using global (spin) mutex would be non-optimal
but working solution.

context on return from the trap handler, re-enable the interrupts on
i386 and amd64. The trap return path have to disable interrupts since
the sequence of loading the machine state is not atomic. The trap()
function which transfers the control to the special handler would
enable the interrupt, but an iret loads the previous eflags with PSL_I
clear. Then, the special handler calls trap() on its own, which now
sees the original eflags with PSL_I set and does not enable
interrupts.
The end result is that signal delivery and process exiting code could
be executed with interrupts disabled, which is generally wrong and
triggers several assertions.
For amd64, the interrupts are enabled conditionally based on PSL_I in
the eflags of the outer frame, as it is already done for
doreti_iret_fault. For i386, the interrupts are enabled
unconditionally, the ast loop could have opened a window with
interrupts enabled just before the iret anyway.

buffer map size, auto-tuned on the 4GB machine. Having the maxbcache
bigger than the buffer map causes the transient bio map sizing logic
to assume that there is enough KVA to use approximately 90MB (buffer
map is sized to 110MB, and maxbcache is 200MB). The increase in the
KVA usage caused other big KVA consumers, like nvidia.ko, to fail the
initialization.

do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.
