The recent uvm commits fixed hangs because machines went out of memory because of using too much space for amap slots.
It's possible to shrink memory requirements for amaps even more, but the current code needs some simplifications first. So here's another cleanup diff. There'll be one or two more before we get to the real stuff. This one simplifies the traversal of an amap when swap is disabled. There's no need to insert marker elements to find the next item in the amap list. The next amap can be determined by looking at the currently examined amap. Care must be taken to get the next element before the current amap is possibly deleted, and after all the current amap's pages were read in from swap (because the page-in may sleep and remove items from the amap list). ok?
