Log Message:
many improvements:
 - use struct vm_page_md for attaching pv entries to struct vm_page
 - change pseg_set()'s return value to indicate whether the spare page
   was used as an L2 or L3 PTP.
 - use a pool for pv entries instead of malloc().
 - put PTPs on a list attached to the pmap so we can free them
   more efficiently (by just walking the list) in pmap_destroy().
 - use the new pmap_remove_all() interface to avoid flushing the cache and TLB
   for each pmap_remove() that's done as we are tearing down an address space.
 - in pmap_enter(), handle replacing an existing mapping more efficiently
   than just calling pmap_remove() on it.  also, skip flushing the
   TSB and TLB if there was no previous mapping, since there can't be
   anything we need to flush.  also, preload the TSB if we're pre-setting
   the mod/ref bits.
 - allocate hardware contexts like the MIPS pmap:
   allocate them all sequentially without reuse, then once we run out
   just invalidate all user TLB entries and flush the entire L1 dcache.
 - fix pmap_extract() for the case where the va is not page-aligned and
   nothing is mapped there.
 - fix calculation of TSB size.  it was comparing physmem (which is
   in units of pages) to constants that only make sense if they are
   in units of bytes.
 - avoid sleeping in pmap_enter(), instead let the caller do it.
 - use pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter() where appropriate.
 - remove code to handle impossible cases in various functions.
 - tweak asm code to pipeline a little better.
 - remove many unnecessary spls and membars.
 - lots of code cleanup.
 - no doubt other stuff that I've forgotten.

the result of all this is that a fork+exit microbenchmark is 34% faster
and a fork+exec+exit microbenchmark is 28% faster.
