Konstantin Belousov c42b43a054 Add a new populate() pager method and extend device pager ops vector
with cdev_pg_populate() to provide device drivers access to it.  It
gives drivers fine control of the pages ownership and allows drivers
to implement arbitrary prefault policies.

The populate method is called on a page fault and is supposed to
populate the vm object with the page at the fault location and some
amount of pages around it, at pager's discretion.  VM provides the
pager with the hints about current range of the object mapping, to
avoid instantiation of immediately unused pages, if pager decides so.
Also, VM passes the fault type and map entry protection to the pager,
allowing it to force the optimal required ownership of the mapped
pages.

Installed pages must contiguously fill the returned region, be fully
valid and exclusively busied.  Of course, the pages must be compatible
with the object' type.

After populate() successfully returned, VM fault handler installs as
many instantiated pages into the process page tables as it sees
reasonable, while still obeying the correct semantic for COW and vm
map locking.

The method is opt-in, pager sets OBJ_POPULATE flag to indicate that
the method can be called.  If pager' vm objects can be shadowed, pager
must implement the traditional getpages() method in addition to the
populate().  Populate() might fall back to the getpages() on per-call
basis as well, by returning VM_PAGER_BAD error code.

For now for device pagers, the populate() method is only allowed to be
used by the managed device pagers, but the limitation is only made
because there is no unmanaged fault handlers which could use it right
now.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.
