Description

Add the superpage reservation system. This is "part 2 of 2" of the
machine-independent support for superpages. (The earlier part was
the rewrite of the physical memory allocator.) The remainder of the
code required for superpages support is machine-dependent and will
be added to the various pmap implementations at a later date.

Initially, I am only supporting one large page size per architecture.
Moreover, I am only enabling the reservation system on amd64. (In
an emergency, it can be disabled by setting VM_NRESERVLEVELS to 0
in amd64/include/vmparam.h or your kernel configuration file.)
