Preview tag updated - possible short term instability
I am doing some fairly significant cleanups of the kernel startup
code and the kernel virtual memory system and it is possible that
I may introduce bugs. I have synchronized the preview tag so it covers
work to date, before I start committing the cleanups.
Amoung the cleanups occuring:
* Make kernel_object a struct vm_object instead of a pointer
* Make kernel_object use indexes relative to address 0 instead of
the base of kernel memory (which removes a large chunk of arithmatic
used to convert KVA addresses into kernel_object page indexes and
makes everything easier to read).
* Remove kmem_object entirely
* Cleanup the ABI between machine-dependant code and machine-independant
code with respect to specifying the kernel virtual address space and
the physical address space.
And other stuff.
