    vkernel - Change how VPTE_M works to fix seg-faults during paging
    
    * Properly set and clear PG_WRITEABLE
    
    * TAILQ_FOREACH() iterations on m->md.pv_list must be restarted
      if we ever drop the spin-lock.
    
    * Change VPAGETABLE semantics and operation, cleaning up some things
      and fixing others.
    
      Have the real-kernel only conditionally downgrade the real pte to
      read-only for a VPTE_RW vpte.  It only downgrades it if VPTE_M is
      not set, improving performance.
    
      Fix the virtual kernel to properly invalidate the real-kernel pte's
      when clearing VPTE_M.  This improves issues that crop up when the
      vkernel is paging heavily.
    
    * Replace the linear pv_plist with a RB tree.  Also have pmap_remove_pages()
      simply call pmap_remove().
    
      Note that pmap_remove_pages()'s old code was broken because it only
      scanned the pv_entry list and missed unmanaged pages.  Fixing this
      also fixes a vmspace reuse issue where the real-host pmap still
      contained stale PTEs from prior use.
