1 gig superpages

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi!

Holy crap, this is great!

Are you able to look at what it'd take to bring this up on -HEAD?

Have a chat with Alan about the VM changes; he should be able to help
you figure out what's changed in -HEAD and what needs to be polished
before this thing can be committed.

How do you suggest this is tested/evaluated?

Thanks!

I probably messed something up in the rebase, as lots of things changed both in pmap and vm since 9.1.  There are also a handful of commits that i haven't gotten to yet, but they are less consequential - just performance improvements to the buddy allocator.  I hope to push those over the next few days.
