This is a cleanup patch to Peter's new OBJT_PHYS VM object type
and sysv shared memory support for it. It implements a new
PG_UNMANAGED flag that has slightly different characteristics
from PG_FICTICIOUS.
A new sysctl, kern.ipc.shm_use_phys has been added to enable the
use of physically-backed sysv shared memory rather then swap-backed.
Physically backed shm segments are not tracked with PV entries,
allowing programs which use a large shm segment as a rendezvous
point to operate without eating an insane amount of KVM in the
PV entry management. Read: Oracle.
Peter's OBJT_PHYS object will also allow us to eventually implement
page-table sharing and/or 4MB physical page support for such segments.
We're half way there.
