    kernel - Refactor vm_page_alloc() to improve hot pages
    
    * Since we do not pre-zero pages any more, nothing uses PG_ZERO and we no
      longer have to use the head and tail of the free queue as an indication
      of a possibly freed page being zerod or not.
    
      For PQ_FREE, refactor the use case to always be LIFO, improving chances
      that vm_page_alloc() will retrieve a page that is already hot in the
      cache.
    
    * Should improve the host, and in particular will improve the vkernel,
      preventing it from unnecessarily cycling new pages (faulting them in
      on the host) when normal operation is in steady-state, and also reducing
      unnecessary initial/fresh faults.
