/*
 * The pid provider needs a small per thread scratch space,
 * in the address space of the user task. This code is used to
 * manage that space.
 *
 * High level design:
 *
 * To avoid serialization, this is a (mostly) lockless allocator. If
 * a new page has to be allocated, the process's sprlock will be acquired.
 * 
 * NOTE: The dtrace copyin/copyout code is still the shared code that
 * can handle unmapped pages, so the scratch space isn't wired for now.
 * * Each page in user space is wired. It cannot be paged out, because
 * * dtrace's copyin/copyout is only guaranteed to handle pages already
 * * in memory. 
 *
 * Each page in user space is represented by a dt_ptss_page. Page entries
 * are chained. Once allocated, a page is not freed until dtrace "cleans up"
 * that process.
 *
 * Clean up works like this:
 *
 * At process exit, free all kernel allocated memory, but ignore user pages.
 * At process exec, free all kernel allocated memory, but ignore user pages.
 * At process fork, free user pages copied from parent, and do not allocate kernel memory.
 *
 * This is making the assumption that it is faster to let the bulk vm_map
 * operations in exec/exit do their work, instead of explicit page free(s)
 * via mach_vm_deallocate.
 *
 * As each page is allocated, its entries are chained and added to the
 * free_list. To claim an entry, cas it off the list. When a thread exits,
 * cas its entry onto the list. We could potentially optimize this by
 * keeping a head/tail, and cas'ing the frees to the tail instead of the
 * head. Without evidence to support such a need, it seems better to keep
 * things simple for now.
