Alan Cox 0e18ab26d0 PAE adds another level to the i386 page table. This level is a small
4-entry table that must be located within the first 4GB of RAM.  This
requirement is met by defining an UMA zone with a custom back-end
allocator function.  This revision makes two changes to this back-end
allocator function: (1) It replaces the use of contigmalloc() with the
use of kmem_alloc_contig().  This eliminates "double accounting", i.e.,
accounting by both the UMA zone and malloc tags.  (I made the same
change for the same reason to the zones supporting jumbo frames a week
ago.) (2) It passes through the "wait" parameter, i.e., M_WAITOK,
M_ZERO, etc. to kmem_alloc_contig() rather than ignoring it.
pmap_init() calls uma_zalloc() with both M_WAITOK and M_ZERO.  At the
moment, this is harmless only because the default behavior of
contigmalloc()/kmem_alloc_contig() is to wait and because pmap_init()
doesn't really depend on the memory being zeroed.

The back-end allocator function in the Xen pmap is dead code.  I am
changing it nonetheless because I don't want to leave any "bad examples"
in the source tree for someone to copy at a later date.
