    kernel - Fix a major (pageable) memory leak
    
    * Under certain relatively easy to reproduce conditions an extra ref_count
      can be added to a VM object during a fork(), preventing the object from
      ever being destroyed.  It's pages may even be paged out, but the system
      will eventually run out of swap space too.
    
    * The actual fix is to assign 'map_object = object' in vm_map_insert()
      (see the diff).  The rest of this commit is conditionalized debugging
      code and code documentation.
    
    * Because this change implements a relatively esoteric feature in the VM
      system by allowing an anonymous VM object to be extended to cover an
      area even though it might have a gap (so a new VM object does not have
      to be allocated), further testing is needed before we can MFC this to
      the RELEASE branch.
