  Log:
  Coalesce pipe allocations and frees.  Previously, the pipe code
  would allocate two 'struct pipe's from the pipe zone, and malloc a
  mutex.
  
  - Create a new "struct pipepair" object holding the two 'struct
    pipe' instances, struct mutex, and struct label reference.  Pipe
    structures now have a back-pointer to the pipe pair, and a
    'pipe_present' flag to indicate whether the half has been
    closed.
  
  - Perform mutex init/destroy in zone init/destroy, avoiding
    reallocating the mutex for each pipe.  Perform most pipe structure
    setup in zone constructor.
  
  - VM memory mappings for pageable buffers are still done outside of
    the UMA zone.
  
  - Change MAC API to speak 'struct pipepair' instead of 'struct pipe',
    update many policies.  MAC labels are also handled outside of the
    UMA zone for now.  Label-only policy modules don't have to be
    recompiled, but if a module is recompiled, its pipe entry points
    will need to be updated.  If a module actually reached into the
    pipe structures (unlikely), that would also need to be modified.
  
  These changes substantially simplify failure handling in the pipe
  code as there are many fewer possible failure modes.
  
  On half-close, pipes no longer free the 'struct pipe' for the closed
  half until a full-close takes place.  However, VM mapped buffers
  are still released on half-close.
  
  Some code refactoring is now possible to clean up some of the back
  references, etc; this patch attempts not to change the structure
  of most of the pipe implementation, only allocation/free code
  paths, so as to avoid introducing bugs (hopefully).
  
  This cuts about 8%-9% off the cost of sequential pipe allocation
  and free in system call tests on UP and SMP in my micro-benchmarks.
  May or may not make a difference in macro-benchmarks, but doing
  less work is good.
