    kernel - Rearrange pmap_growkernel() and fix up x86_64's pmap_growkernel()
    
    * Rearrange pmap_growkernel() to pass an address range instead of just an
      end address.
    
    * vm_map() no longer retries after calling pmap_growkernel(), the function
      either succeeds or panics.
    
    * x86_64 - kldloading modules after system boot no longer populates 128GB
      worth of page tables (which eats ~256MB of ram) in order to push
      kernel_vm_end past KERNBASE.
    
      Instead, any kldloads into the space beyond KERNBASE, which is required
      to be able to link them into the kernel due to 32-bit PC-relative
      addressing, will populate just the required page tables and will not
      bump up kernel_vm_end.
    
    * Fixes a panic which can occur well after boot when kldload'ing the first
      module, if 256MB worth of free pages is not instantly available.
    
    * Saves us 256M of ram on x86_64.
