  Log:
  This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems.  There
  has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code.  These
  problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
  still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances.  Most of
  the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
  the vfs.ioopt code.  This code might have been committed seperately, but
  almost everything is interrelated.
  
  1)	Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
  	are fully valid.
  2)	Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
  	kern_exec, we now free them.
  3)	Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
  	(missing vp) state.
  4)	Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse.  The previous
  	code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
  5)	Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
  6)	Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
  	files in vfs_bio_awrite.  When the code is functional, I'll add back
  	a cleaner version.
  7)	The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
  	incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me.  Revert to the
  	original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
  8)	The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
  	more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
  	that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
  9)	Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE.  The
  	delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
  	length of the time intervals.
  10)	Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
  11)	Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
  12)	Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
  	the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
  13)	Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
  14)	Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
  	vm_map_clean.
  15)	Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
  	fewer in-transit waits occur.  (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
  	of PG_BUSY.)  Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
  	reads.
  16)	It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy.  Make the
  	page allocation code handle that case correctly.  (It should probably
  	be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
  	robustly.  I'll probably add a printf.)
  17)	Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep.  It didn't handle
  	consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
  	lofty.  After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
  	to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
  	verify it's status (always.)
  18)	In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
  19)	Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
  20)	Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
  	instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.
