>Description:
In powerpc/oea/pmap.c, there are two pools of PVO:
- pmap_upvo_pool for PVO entries for unmanaged pages
- pmap_mpvo_pool for PVO entries for managed pages

At the moment, we determine to which pool freed PVO is put back by
PVO_MANAGED flag. However, this is *wrong* when PVO is obtained by
pmap_pvo_reclaim(). That is, PVO for unmanaged pages can be reclaimed
from pool for managed, and vice versa.
>How-To-Repeat:
Enable DIAGNOSTIC, and put a system in heavy memory pressure, like

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gcc10 && make MAKE_JOBS=2

Then, the system crashes for a while as:

panic: pr_phinpage_check: [pmap_upvopl] item 0xf619c0 poolid 36 != 1
>Fix:
Although I'm not sure whether this is a correct fix or not, but this
patch seems to fix a problem:

http://www.netbsd.org/~rin/oea_pmap_20200531.patch

Here, I introduced a new flag that represents from which pool PVO is
obtained:

#define PVO_POOL_MANAGED        0x0080
#define PVO_POOL_MANAGED_P(pvo) ((pvo)->pvo_vaddr & PVO_POOL_MANAGED)

Then, use this flag instead of PVO_MANAGED to determine to which pool
we should pool_put(9) into.

Alternatively, we can reclaim PVO from the same pool in
pmap_pvo_reclaim(). However, this attempt fails for me, by ended up in:

panic: pmap_pvo_enter: failed
