    kernel - Fix numerous performance problems with the pageout daemon
    
    * The VM page queues were not being fully utilized, causing the pageout
      daemon to calculate incorrect average page counts for deactivation/freeing.
      This caused the pageout daemon to dig into the active queue even when it
      did not need to.
    
    * The pageout daemon was incorrectly calculating the maxscan value for each
      queue.  It was using the aggregate count (across all 256 queues) instead of
      the per-queue count, resulting in long stalls when memory is low.
    
    * Clean up the PQ_L2* knobs, constants, and other cruft, reducing them to
      the essentials for our goals.
