New Revision: 269237
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/269237

Log:
  MFC: r269050 (partial)
  
  Copying and zeroing pages via temporary mappings involves updating the
  corresponding page tables followed by accesses to the pages in question.
  This sequence is subject to the situation exactly described in the "AMD64
  Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming" rev. 3.23,
  "7.3.1 Special Coherency Considerations" [1, p. 171 f.]. Therefore, issuing
  the INVLPG right after modifying the PTE bits is crucial.
  For pmap_copy_page(), this has been broken in r124956.
