    kernel - pmap (i386) - Refactor the foreign pmap mapping
    
    * Remove the global alternative pmap and related hacks.  Leave
      the PTD entry reserved because I really do not want to
      change the location of MPPTDI (The PDE via which the
      globaldata array is mapped).
    
    * Reserve SMP_MAXCPU (16) PTDs in the kernel page table for
      per-cpu page table maps.  This eats about 64MB of KVM
      (not 64M of physical memory).
    
    * Adjust get_ptbase() in platform/pc32/i386/pmap.c to use the
      per-cpu map.  This greatly simplifies the tracking required
      to determine when a cpu_invltlb() call is required.
    
      get_ptbase() is now MPSAFE but the rest of the pmap system
      is not, yet.  This is a big step though.
    
    * Note that because these are PTD mappings and not PTE mappings,
      each process pmap gets its own set, and because processes
      may be threaded the new get_ptbase() still WILL NOT safely
      survive a thread switch.
    
      On the otherhand, for vkernels, this inherent (process pmap x NCPU)
      pagetable mapping cache should work quite efficiently.  The
      vkernel threads running on different physical cpus will get their
      own page table map cache ptd.
