Add the MEM_EXTRACT_PADDR ioctl to /dev/mem.

This allows privileged userspace processes to find information about the
physical page backing a given mapping. It is useful in applications
such as DPDK which perform some of their own memory management.

sys/mips: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Add reader/writer lock around mem_range_attr_get() and mem_range_attr_set().
Compile sys/dev/mem/memutil.c for all supported platforms and remove now
unnecessary dev_mem_md_init(). Consistently define mem_range_softc from
mem.c for all platforms. Add missing #include guards for machine/memdev.h
and sys/memrange.h. Clean up some nearby style(9) nits.

Whitespace fixes in mips/include, remove unused 'struct tlb' from locore.h

Remove the unused major/minor numbers from iodev and memdev.

Now that st_rdev is being automatically generated by the kernel, there
is no need to define static major/minor numbers for the iodev and
memdev. We still need the minor numbers for the memdev, however, to
distinguish between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

FreeBSD/mips port. The FreeBSD/mips port targets mips32, mips64,
mips32r2 and mips64r2 (and close relatives) processors. There
presently is support for ADMtek ADM5120, A mips 4Kc in a malta board,
the RB533 routerboard (based on IDT RC32434) and some preliminary
support for sibtye/broadcom designs. Other hardware support will be
forthcomcing.

This port boots multiuser under gxemul emulating the malta board and
also bootstraps on the hardware whose support is forthcoming...

Oleksandr Tymoshenko, Wojciech Koszek, Warner Losh, Olivier Houchard,
Randall Stewert and others that have contributed to the mips2 and/or
mips2-jnpr perforce branches. Juniper contirbuted a generic mips port
late in the life cycle of the misp2 branch. Warner Losh merged the
mips2 and Juniper code bases, and others list above have worked for
the past several months to get to multiuser.

In addition, the mips2 work owe a debt to the trail blazing efforts of
the original mips branch in perforce done by Juli Mallett.
