SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

This may seem like a no-op change, however it shrinks down the Kernel by a bit:
.text -432
.unmap_after_init -60
.data -480
.debug_info -673
.debug_aranges 8
.debug_ranges -232
.debug_line -558
.debug_str -308
.debug_frame -40
With '= default', the compiler can do more inlining, hence the savings.
I intentionally omitted some opportunities for '= default', because they
would increase the Kernel size.
Rather than trying to find a contiguous set of bits of size 1, just
find one single available bit using a hint.
Also, try to randomize returned physical pages a bit by placing them
into a 256 entry queue rather than making them available immediately.
Then, once the queue is filled, pick a random one, make it available
again and use that slot for the latest page to be returned.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
This makes no functional difference, but it makes it clear that
MemoryManager and PhysicalRegion take over the actual physical
page represented by this PhysicalPage instance.
This significantly reduces the pressure on the kernel heap when
allocating a lot of pages.
Previously at about 250MB allocated, the free page list would outgrow
the kernel's heap. Given that there is no longer a page list, this does
not happen.
The next barrier will be the kernel memory used by the page records for
in-use memory. This kicks in at about 1GB.
