What about arches that have 16k pages or something? I know the
8192 is ugly, but it sort of makes sense as a hardcoded value
rather than using some arbitrary multiple of PAGE_SIZE.
Btw, if you wouldn't mind sharing, what would make this faster
than FreeBSD's version? The optimized timestamp? Or is there
something else FreeBSD can learn from your implementation?
