An addendum to r195649, "Add support to the virtual memory system for
configuring machine-dependent memory attributes...": Don't set the memory attribute for a "real" page that is allocated to a device object in vm_page_alloc(). It is a pointless act, because the device pager replaces this "real" page with a "fake" page and sets the memory attribute on that "fake" page. Eliminate pointless code from pmap_cache_bits() on amd64. Employ the "Self Snoop" feature supported by some x86 processors to avoid cache flushes in the pmap. Approved by: re (kib)
