Hiten Pandya 30de9c50b0 Update prototype for function pmap_init(), it no longer has the arguments
phys_start and phys_end.

Remove a stale documentation not about dis/uncontiguous memory.

Update manual page date while I am around these ends.

system needs in order to map between physical and virtual memory.

function initializes a zone for the PV entries.
These are used to implement page sharing at the physical level.
