d2caeb6146 start all processes, including VM, in VM_PROCSTART in linear address space,
to make space for kernel to be able to map in things below there.

2dd02cc560 mark pages whose refcount were >1 and drop to 1 and are
read/write writable in the pagetable right away instead of waiting for
a pagefault. minor optimization.

some a sanity check of SLAB-allocated pointers.

vm gets its own _exit and __exit like PM, so the stock (library) panic works.

3121eec6bd . map text (kernel's and processes') in readonly
. map kernel in non-user
 . don't map in first pages of kernel code and data
   if possible

these first pages could actually be freed but as the
kernel isn't allowed to touch them either we can't reuse
them until VM has totally taken over page table management
and kernel doesn't rely on identity mapping any more.

e4e3995fb0 don't force vm to print to serial; don't kill processes when they
have 'bad' memory ranges (as it's the requestor's fault)

68d0c4defe - code shared with exec() letting boot-time processes have
their own fully fledged virtual address space and freeing
   their pre-allocated heap+stack area (necessary to let memory
   driver map in arbitrary areas of memory for /dev/mem without
   sys_vm_map)
 - small optimization preallocating memory on exec
 - finished VR_DIRECT physical mapping code

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
