Introduce a md pmap hook, pmap_remove_holes(), which is supposed to mark

the holes a MMU may have from a given vm_map. This will be automagically
invoked for newly created vmspaces.

On platforms with MMU holes (e.g. sun4, sun4c and vax), this prevents
mmap(2) hints which would end up being in the hole to be accepted as valid,
causing unexpected signals when the process tries to access the hole
(since pmap can not fill the hole anyway).

Unfortunately, the logic mmap() uses to pick a valid address for anonymous
mappings needs work, as it will only try to find an address higher than the
hint, which causes all mmap() with a hint in the hole to fail on vax. This
will be improved later.
