    kernel - Cut buffer cache related pmap invalidations in half
    
    * Do not bother to invalidate the TLB when tearing down a buffer
      cache buffer.  On the flip side, always invalidate the TLB
      (the page range in question) when entering pages into a buffer
      cache buffer.  Only applicable to normal VMIO buffers.
    
    * Significantly improves buffer cache / filesystem performance with
      no real risk.
    
    * Significantly improves performance for tmpfs teardowns on unmount
      (which typically have to tear-down a lot of buffer cache buffers).
