Include <sys/param.h> here directly to have a sane default for
COHERENCY_UNIT.

Redo the page allocator to perform better, especially on multi-core and
multi-socket systems. Proposed on tech-kern. While here:

- add rudimentary NUMA support - needs more work.
- remove now unused "listq" from vm_page.

branches: 1.8.60;
Provide a forward declaration of "struct vm_page", whose internal
is opaque to uvm_pglist.h users. Users don't need to pull in
uvm_page.h.

branches: 1.7.16; 1.7.18; 1.7.20;
- vm_page: put listq, pageq into a union alongside a LIST_ENTRY, so we can
use both types of list.

- Make page coloring and idle zero state per-CPU.

- Maintain per-CPU page freelists. When freeing, put pages onto the local
CPU's lists and the global lists. When allocating, prefer to take pages
from the local CPU. If none are available take from the global list as
done now. Proposed on tech-kern@.

Remove clause 3 and 4 from TNF licenses

use the correct symbol for multi-include protection.

remove trailing whitespace.

Support dynamic sizing of the page color bins. We also support
dynamically re-coloring pages; as machine-dependent code discovers
the size of the system's caches, it may call uvm_page_recolor() with
the new number of colors to use. If the new mumber of colors is
smaller (or equal to) the current number of colors, then uvm_page_recolor()
is a no-op.

The system defaults to one bucket if machine-dependent code does not
initialize uvmexp.ncolors before uvm_page_init() is called.

Note that the number of color bins should be initialized to something
reasonable as early as possible -- for many early memory allocations,
we live with the consequences of the page choice for the lifetime of
the boot.

Implement page coloring, using a round-robin bucket selection
algorithm (Solaris calls this "Bin Hopping").

This implementation currently relies on MD code to define a
constant defining the number of buckets. This will change
reasonably soon (MD code will be able to dynamically size
the bucket array).

remove/move more mach vm header files:

<vm/pglist.h> -> <uvm/uvm_pglist.h>
<vm/vm_inherit.h> -> <uvm/uvm_inherit.h>
<vm/vm_kern.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_extern.h>
<vm/vm_object.h> -> nothing
<vm/vm_pager.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_pager.h>

also includes a bunch of <vm/vm_page.h> include removals (due to redudancy
with <vm/vm.h>), and a scattering of other similar headers.
