like we do in Malta. We may want to look at consolidating things
because *ALL* mips will *ALWAYS* be memory mapped. The only wrinkle
is that the tag may need to be a custom one (see endian issues with
the Atheros port for one example).
former works for both ILP32 and LP64 programming models, while the
latter fails LP64.
# uintpr_t is better, but iirc, we can't pollute the name space to use it
# I likely need to audit all my uintptr_t changes for that issue...
a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses. The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

dependent memory attributes:
Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.
Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.
Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:
kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.
vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.
Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

alignment) and implements bounce pages.
- Add BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD case to bus_dmamap_sync_buf
(1) fix printf formats.
(2) Prefer FreeBSD's MIPS_PHYS_TO_KSEG0 to hand-rolled one from Cavium.
(3) Mark a few 64-bit cleanliness issues (possible).
(4) Minor formatting fixes.
