Nexoniarz b70e36e0a2 kalloc: never-used memory stays a range; 256 GB; free is a counter 
Every page of RAM went onto the free list at boot, which means writing
each one -- a link, and kfree()'s 4 KB of junk -- before the first
process ran: 64 GB of memset on a 64 GB machine to say it was free.
Memory nobody has used yet is kept as a cursor and an end per region
now, and kalloc() takes from those once the list of given-back pages
is empty. A page is first touched by whoever asked for it.

That makes the cap on RAM cheap to raise, and PHYSTOP_MAX goes from 64
to 256 GB, which still leaves 248 GB of the kernel PDPT for device
windows. MEMREGION_MAX goes from 32 to 64 for the firmware maps that
cut RAM into many pieces.

kalloc_free_bytes() walked the whole free list under the allocator's
lock -- two million links on 8 GB, every second top or fastfetch was
running, with every CPU that wanted a page waiting behind it. It reads
a counter now. And the buffer cache, which keeps what it grows to, is
reported as Buffers in /proc/meminfo and sysinfo(2) rather than as
memory used by nothing.

Checked under QEMU at 1, 2 and 6 GB: MemFree right, zsh splitting
200000 words, fork loops, a 74 MB write.
