kib 8de1718b60 Split the pagequeues per NUMA domains, and split pageademon process
into threads each processing queue in a single domain.  The structure
of the pagedaemons and queues is kept intact, most of the changes come
from the need for code to find an owning page queue for given page,
calculated from the segment containing the page.

The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.

Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass.  This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing.  The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.

The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues.  Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.

Launder is modified to take into account the segments layout with
regard to the region for which cleaning is performed.
