Message:

Support for kernel non-identity mappings, phase I.

• identity/non-identity kernel memory split on all architectures
• low/high physical memory split on all architectures
• frame allocator understands low/high memory
• high physical memory currently unused (Phase II)
• more compact frame_t
• zone conf frames, pte_t, kernel stacks allocated from low memory
• lockless TLB-miss handlers everywhere (newly sparc64, ia64)
• preallocate PTL1 page tables for non-identity and prevent their deallocation
• hw_map() unification
• new resource allocator used for allocating kernel virtual addresses

Breakage:

• sparc64/sun4v creates too large kernel identity; not fixed because of lack of testing hw
• ppc32's tlb_refill() seems wrong as it creates too large kernel identity, but appears unused and the architecture works normally

Not implemented yet (phase II):

• allow high memory to be used for common kernel allocations
