Matthew Dillon b86ec922be Replace the vm_page hash table with a per-vmobject splay tree. There should
be no major change in performance from this change at this time but this
will allow other work to progress:  Giant lock removal around VM system
in favor of per-object mutexes, ranged fsyncs, more optimal COMMIT rpc's for
NFS, partial filesystem syncs by the syncer, more optimal object flushing,
etc.  Note that the buffer cache is already using a similar splay tree
mechanism.

Note that a good chunk of the old hash table code is still in the tree.
Alan or I will remove it prior to the release if the new code does not
introduce unsolvable bugs, else we can revert more easily.
