Add pmap function pmap_copy_pages(), which copies the content of the

pages around, taking array of vm_page_t both for source and
destination.  Starting offsets and total transfer size are specified.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations.  For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used.  The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.

Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to
the tree, ensures that the use of the function is only allowed after
explicit enablement.

For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added
instead, to allow the kernel linking.
