Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
o Move similar block/networking methods to common file
o Follow r275640 and correct MMIO registers width
o Pass value to MMIO platform_note method.
