dillon c8a95a285d This commit represents work mainly submitted by Tor and slightly modified
by myself.  It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur
with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used.  This code has been
heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current.  An MFC
will occur in a few days.  My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry()
and minor buffer cache boundry case fix.

Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a
normal map.

Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps.  There were cases
where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally
harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places
where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted
maps.

Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that
could result in non-optimal code.

Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation'
of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map.  Previously only a simple
linear optimization was made.  (The buffer vm_map typically has only a
handful of vm_map_entry's.  This stabilizes it at that level permanently).
