ARMv6 pmap - fix the way how a decision is made that a page is under pv management

[skra]

Summary

PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() function looks up a page in more segments, but first_page is connected only to the segment associated with vm_page_array. There could be more dynamically created segments for fictitious pages.

Probably, it's not so big problem on architectures where RAM physical address starts from zero. However, it's not a case for many ARM platforms.

On the other hand, AFAIK, fictitious pages under pv management are used only in new drm code.

Besides DRM, another consumer of the dynamic managed fictitious page ranges is Xen. I am not sure about state of the Xen/arm port on FreeBSD.

the `? TRUE : FALSE``` part is not needed, the comparison operator already produces the bool typed result. You might consider changing return type of is_managed() to bool as well.

Right. I saw that in this morning. About bool type, is it prefered now to slowly change all occurrences of boolean_t into bool?

I use bool type for all new code and when modifying old code. The only exception is when boolean_t is inscribed in the KPI and the pass over consumers is not desirable.
