    kernel - VM rework part 11 - Core pmap work to remove terminal PVs
    
    * Remove pv_entry_t belonging to terminal PTEs.  The pv_entry's for
      PT, PD, PDP, and PML4 remain.  This reduces kernel memory use for
      pv_entry's by 99%.
    
      The pmap code now iterates vm_object->backing_list (of vm_map_backing
      structures) to run-down pages for various operations.
    
    * Remove vm_page->pv_list.  This was one of the biggest sources of
      contention for shared faults.  However, in this first attempt I
      am leaving all sorts of ref-counting intact so the contention has
      not been entirely removed yet.
    
    * Current hacks:
    
      - Dynamic page table page removal currently disabled because the
        vm_map_backing scan needs to be able to deterministically
        run-down PTE pointers.  Removal only occurs at program exit.
    
      - PG_DEVICE_IDX probably isn't being handled properly yet.
    
      - Shared page faults not yet optimized.
    
    * So far minor improvements in performance across the board.
      This is realtively unoptimized.  The buildkernel test improves
      by 2% and the zero-fill fault test improves by around 10%.
    
      Kernel memory use is improved (reduced) enormously.
