    sys/sparc64/include  cpufunc.h md_var.h 
    sys/sparc64/sparc64  machdep.c pmap.c 
  Log:
  Use the vis block copy/zero functions for pmap_copy_page and pmap_zero_page.
  These are called through function pointers so that different implementations
  can be provided for cheetah, where the block load instructions may or may
  not be a win, and so they can be disabled with the machdep.use_vis tunable.
  In terms of raw bandwidth the integer versions are faster, but not allocating
  lines in the L2 cache for useless data gives a measurable improvement in user
  time for the benchmarks I tested (mostly buildworld with -j8).
  
  As far as I can tell the instructions used are implemented on everything
  back to UltraSPARC I, so there should not be a problem with different cpu
  types.
