- Introduce and use a new tunable "debug.mpsafevm". At present, setting

   "debug.mpsafevm" results in (almost) Giant-free execution of zero-fill
   page faults.  (Giant is held only briefly, just long enough to determine
   if there is a vnode backing the faulting address.)

   Also, condition the acquisition and release of Giant around calls to
   pmap_remove() on "debug.mpsafevm".

   The effect on performance is significant.  On my dual Opteron, I see a
   3.6% reduction in "buildworld" time.

 - Use atomic operations to update several counters in vm_fault().
