MFC 307332,312086: Drop support for using mmap() with /dev/kmem.
307332: Drop support for using mmap() with /dev/kmem. Using the device pager with /dev/kmem is not stable since KVA mappings are transient, but the device pager caches the PA associated with a given offset forever. Interestingly, mips' implementation of memmap() already refused requests for /dev/kmem. Note that kvm_read/kvm_write do not use mmap, but use read and write on /dev/kmem, so this should not affect libkvm users. 312086: Trim a few comments on platforms that did not implement mmap of /dev/kmem. After r307332, no platforms implement mmap for /dev/kmem, so the lack of it for these platforms is no longer unique.
