When r207410 eliminated the acquisition and release of the page queues
lock from pmap_extract_and_hold(), it didn't take into account that
pmap_pte_quick() sometimes requires the page queues lock to be held.
This change reimplements pmap_extract_and_hold() such that it no
longer uses pmap_pte_quick(), and thus never requires the page queues
lock.
Merge r177525 from the native pmap
Prevent the overflow in the calculation of the next page directory.
The overflow causes the wraparound with consequent corruption of the
(almost) whole address space mapping.
Strictly speaking, r177525 is not required by the Xen pmap because the
hypervisor steals the uppermost region of the normal kernel address
space. I am nonetheless merging it in order to reduce the number of
unnecessary differences between the native and Xen pmap implementations.

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

To date, we have assumed that the TLB will only set the PG_M bit in a
PTE if that PTE has the PG_RW bit set. However, this assumption does
not hold on recent processors from Intel. For example, consider a PTE
that has the PG_RW bit set but the PG_M bit clear. Suppose this PTE
is cached in the TLB and later the PG_RW bit is cleared in the PTE,
but the corresponding TLB entry is not (yet) invalidated.
Historically, upon a write access using this (stale) TLB entry, the
TLB would observe that the PG_RW bit had been cleared and initiate a
page fault, aborting the setting of the PG_M bit in the PTE. Now,
however, P4- and Core2-family processors will set the PG_M bit before
observing that the PG_RW bit is clear and initiating a page fault. In
other words, the write does not occur but the PG_M bit is still set.
The real impact of this difference is not that great. Specifically,
we should no longer assert that any PTE with the PG_M bit set must
also have the PG_RW bit set, and we should ignore the state of the
PG_M bit unless the PG_RW bit is set.

r208645
When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I created
an ordering dependence: A pmap operation that clears PG_WRITEABLE and calls
vm_page_dirty() must perform the call first. Otherwise, pmap_is_modified()
could return FALSE without acquiring the page queues lock because the page
is not (currently) writeable, and the caller to pmap_is_modified() might
believe that the page's dirty field is clear because it has not seen the
effect of the vm_page_dirty() call.
When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I
overlooked one place where this ordering dependence is violated:
pmap_enter(). In a rare situation pmap_enter() can be called to replace a
dirty mapping to one page with a mapping to another page. (I say rare
because replacements generally occur as a result of a copy-on-write fault,
and so the old page is not dirty.) This change delays clearing PG_WRITEABLE
until after vm_page_dirty() has been called.
Fixing the ordering dependency also makes it easy to introduce a small
optimization: When pmap_enter() used to replace a mapping to one page with a
mapping to another page, it freed the pv entry for the first mapping and
later called the pv entry allocator for the new mapping. Now, pmap_enter()
attempts to recycle the old pv entry, saving two calls to the pv entry
allocator.
There is no point in setting PG_WRITEABLE on unmanaged pages, so don't.

Clearing a page table entry's accessed bit (PG_A) and setting the
page's PG_REFERENCED flag in pmap_protect() can't really be justified,
so don't do it.
pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters. For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences. First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon. Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should. Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon. Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page. However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution. In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping. Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage
mapping within another process!
This patch basically gives us the best of both worlds. Instead of
