Currently FreeBSD uses IPI based TLB flushing for remote
TLB flushing. Hyper-V allows hypercalls to flush local and
remote TLB. The use of Hyper-V hypercalls gives significant
performance improvement in TLB operations.
This patch set during test has shown near to 40 percent
TLB performance improvement.
Also this patch adds rep hypercall implementation as well.

This is the last part for ARM64 Hyper-V enablement. This includes
commone files and make file changes to enable the ARM64 FreeBSD
guest on Hyper-V. With this patch, it should be able to build
the ARM64 image and install it on Hyper-V.

This reverts commit 9ef7df022a ("hyperv: Register hyperv_timecounter
later during boot") and adds a comment explaining why the timecounter
needs to be registered as early as it is.

Previously the MSR-based timecounter was registered during
SI_SUB_HYPERVISOR, i.e., very early during boot, and before SI_SUB_LOCK.
After commit 621fd9dcb2 this triggers a panic since the timecounter
list lock is not yet initialized.
The hyperv timecounter does not need to be registered so early, so defer
that to SI_SUB_DRIVERS, at the same time the hyperv TSC timecounter is
registered.

error in the function hypercall_memfree(), where the wrong arena was being
passed to kmem_free().
Introduce a per-page flag, VPO_KMEM_EXEC, to mark physical pages that are
mapped in kmem with execute permissions. Use this flag to determine which
arena the kmem virtual addresses are returned to.
Eliminate UMA_SLAB_KRWX. The introduction of VPO_KMEM_EXEC makes it
redundant.
Update the nearby comment for UMA_SLAB_KERNEL.

FreeBSD VM can't boot up on Hyper-V after the recent malloc change in

The hypercall page here must be executable.
