3153e878dd Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine-
dependent memory attributes:

Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t.  The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.

Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.

Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes.  Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures.  The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map.  The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:

  kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
  non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.

  vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
  for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
  memory attributes.

Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386.  In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

ebf9df0158 Delete the unused/not really used sparc64 (as in sun4u) cache.h,
iommureg.h (which already began to bitrot) and iommuvar.h from the
sun4v source and adjust some of the source which is shared between
sparc64 and sun4v as appropriate.
