mmlr (distracted) + bonefish:
* Turn VMCache::consumers C list into a DoublyLinkedList.
* Use object caches for the different VMCache types and the VMCacheRefs.
The purpose is to reduce slab area fragmentation.
* Requires the introduction of a pure virtual VMCache::DeleteObject()
method, implemented in the derived classes.

* VMCache::Resize(): Corrected TODO comment.
* Changed the semantics of VMCache::HasPage(). It was interpreted
inconsistently by the derived classes. Now it returns whether the backing
store can provide the page (via Read()). The default implementation returns
false. VNodeCache::HasPage() only returns true, if the given offset is
within the cache (i.e. file) bounds. This prevents vm_soft_fault() from
adding clean pages to vnode caches on faults beyond the file bounds.
Probably fixes #5473 -- at least mmap_resize_test behaves correctly, now.
* Removed redundant HasPage() and Fault() overrides in VMCache derived
classes.

Override Fault() method for VM{Device,Null}Cache to prevent vm_soft_fault()
from inserting a clean page, if a fault happens. VMNullCaches are used by the
slab's memory manager -- all page faults in slab areas are serious bugs and
we want to panic() immediately.

* Introduced {malloc,memalign,free}_etc() which take an additional "flags"
argument. They replace the previous special-purpose allocation functions
(malloc_nogrow(), vip_io_request_malloc()).
* Moved the I/O VIP heap to heap.cpp accordingly.
* Added quite a bit of passing around of allocation flags in the VM,
particularly in the VM*AddressSpace classes.
* Fixed IOBuffer::GetNextVirtualVec(): It was ignoring the VIP flag and always
allocated on the normal heap.

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/vm into trunk. This
introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.
