eecadc7023 Add a memory-range interface to /dev/mem on PowerPC using PAT attributes.
Unlike actual MTRR, this only controls the mapping attributes for
subsequent mmap() of /dev/mem. Nonetheless, the support is sufficiently
MTRR-like that Xorg can use it, which translates into an enormous increase
in graphics performance on PowerPC.

9d7a57e916 Remove the unused M_MEMDEV from the kernel.
The M_MEMDEV memory allocation pool does not seem to be used. We can
live without it.

721351876c 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.
