The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.

- Fix a harmless bug: the number of vm_page structures allocated wasn't

we were allocating 30 unused vm_page structures.

will allow other work to progress: Giant lock removal around VM system

NFS, partial filesystem syncs by the syncer, more optimal object flushing,

mechanism.
Note that a good chunk of the old hash table code is still in the tree.

This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack

ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

This is mainly so that they can be variable even for the native abi, based

This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on
machines that support it.
