        syssrc/sys/uvm: uvm_map.c

Log Message:
Modify uvm_map_pageable() and uvm_map_pageable_all() to follow POSIX 1003.1b
semantics.  That is, regardless of the number of mlock/mlockall calls,
an munlock/munlockall actually unlocks the region (i.e. sets wiring count
to 0).

Add a comment describing why uvm_map_pageable() should not be used for
transient page wirings (e.g. for physio) -- note, it's currently only
(ab)used in this way by a few pieces of code which are known to be
broken, i.e. the Amiga and Atari pmaps, and i386 and pc532 if PMAP_NEW is
not used.  The i386 GDT code uses uvm_map_pageable(), but in a safe
way, and could be trivially converted to use uvm_fault_wire() instead.
