Note that it is still not possible to guard special kind of allocations, those
that have special relationships with uma(9). Currently only mbuf clusters.


# 226314 12-Oct-2011 glebius

Document that memguard(9) now can guard uma(9) allocations.


# 211194 11-Aug-2010 mdf

Rework memguard(9) to reserve significantly more KVA to detect
use-after-free over a longer time. Also release the backing pages of
a guarded allocation at free(9) time to reduce the overhead of using
memguard(9). Allow setting and varying the malloc type at run-time.
Add knobs to allow:

- randomly guarding memory
- adding un-backed KVA guard pages to detect underflow and overflow
- a lower limit on the size of allocations that are guarded
