Add two new pmap functions:

Description

Add two new pmap functions:
vm_offset_t pmap_quick_enter_page(vm_page_t m)
void pmap_quick_remove_page(vm_offset_t kva)

These will create and destroy a temporary, CPU-local KVA mapping of a specified page.

Guarantees:
--Will not sleep and will not fail.
--Safe to call under a non-sleepable lock or from an ithread

Restrictions:
--Not guaranteed to be safe to call from an interrupt filter or under a spin mutex on all platforms
--Current implementation does not guarantee more than one page of mapping space across all platforms. MI code should not make nested calls to pmap_quick_enter_page.
--MI code should not perform locking while holding onto a mapping created by pmap_quick_enter_page

The idea is to use this in busdma, for bounce buffer copies as well as virtually-indexed cache maintenance on mips and arm.

NOTE: the non-i386, non-amd64 implementations of these functions still need review and testing.
