jhb 80d9458a56 Adjust some variables (mostly related to the buffer cache) that hold
address space sizes to be longs instead of ints.  Specifically, the follow
values are now longs: runningbufspace, bufspace, maxbufspace,
bufmallocspace, maxbufmallocspace, lobufspace, hibufspace, lorunningspace,
hirunningspace, maxswzone, maxbcache, and maxpipekva.  Previously, a
relatively small number (~ 44000) of buffers set in kern.nbuf would result
in integer overflows resulting either in hangs or bogus values of
hidirtybuffers and lodirtybuffers.  Now one has to overflow a long to see
such problems.  There was a check for a nbuf setting that would cause
overflows in the auto-tuning of nbuf.  I've changed it to always check and
cap nbuf but warn if a user-supplied tunable would cause overflow.

Note that this changes the ABI of several sysctls that are used by things
like top(1), etc., so any MFC would probably require a some gross shims
to allow for that.
