MI changes:

 - provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
   this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
   touch every file [1]
 - make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
 - autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
   of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
   kernel option is still possible)

MD changes:
 - detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
   cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
   function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
   case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
 - print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
   CPU's)

Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
or not.
