svn commit: r251591 - head/sys/vm

[Alan Cox]

Author: alc
Date: Mon Jun 10 01:48:21 2013
New Revision: 251591
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/251591

Log:
  Revise the interface between vm_object_madvise() and vm_page_dontneed() so
  that pointless calls to pmap_is_modified() can be easily avoided when
  performing madvise(..., MADV_FREE).
