Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.

it introduced a check after the call to file system's get pages method
that assumes that the get pages method does not change the array of pages
that is passed to it. In the case of vnode_pager_generic_getpages(),
this assumption has been incorrect. The contents of the array of pages
may be shifted by vnode_pager_generic_getpages(). Likely, the problem
has been hidden by vnode_pager_haspage() limiting the set of pages that
are passed to vnode_pager_generic_getpages() such that a shift never
occurs.
The fix implemented herein is to adjust the pointer to the array of pages
rather than shifting the pages within the array.

Previously, vnode_pager_generic_getpages() assumed that all errors were

Originally, I had adopted sparc64's name, pmap_clear_write(), for the
function that is now pmap_remove_write(). However, this function is more
like pmap_remove_all() than like pmap_clear_modify() or
pmap_clear_reference(), hence, the name change.
The higher-level rationale behind this change is described in
src/sys/amd64/amd64/pmap.c revision 1.567. The short version is that I'm
trying to clean up and fix our support for execute access.

system's machine-dependent and machine-independent layers. Once
pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write(). Why? Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures. The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified." However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission. Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission. On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64. This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and
sparc64.

pointer: When vm_object_deallocate() sleeps because of a non-zero
paging in progress count on either object or object's shadow,
vm_object_deallocate() must ensure that object is still the shadow's
backing object when it reawakens. In fact, object may have been
deallocated while vm_object_deallocate() slept. If so, reacquiring
the lock on object can lead to a deadlock.

instead of looking it up once for every physical page of memory in the
