MFC r281495: Add config option PAE_TABLES for the i386 kernel. It switches pmap to use PAE format for the page tables, but does not incur other consequences of the full PAE config. In particular, vm_paddr_t and bus_addr_t are left 32bit, and max supported memory is still limited by 4GB.
The option allows to have nx permissions for memory mappings on i386 kernel, while keeping the usual i386 KBI and avoiding the kernel data sizing problems typical for the PAE config.

MFC r273701, r274556 By the time that pmap_init() runs, vm_phys_segs[] has been initialized. Obtaining the end of memory address from vm_phys_segs[] is a little easier than obtaining it from phys_avail[].
Enable the use of VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on amd64 and i386, making it the default on i386 PAE. (The use of VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on i386 PAE saves us some precious kernel virtual address space that would have been wasted on unused vm_page structures.)

MFC r257854 (discussed with alc@)
As of r257209, all architectures have defined VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE. In other words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena. This revision changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.
Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE. With auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures. Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for clarity.
