    kernel - Correct second edge-case for machdep.pmap_mmu_optimize
    
    * The pmap_release*() code was previously optimized to not invalidate
      on pml4, pdp, pd, or pt pte's, only on terminal ptes.  This invalidation
      interferes with the PT replacement that the pmap_mmu_optimize feature
      uses.
    
    * The bug generally would only occur when memory is mmap()'d and munmap()'d
      multiple times, which something like postgres will not do, but which
      rtorrent and other programs will do.
    
    * Correctly invalidate page tables (use invltlb) when PT pte's are replaced.
    
    * Requires further testing.  Default for this feature is still off.
