Modified Files:
syssrc/sys/arch/alpha/alpha: pmap.c
Log Message:
Use a pool cache for L1 PT pages. When we can allocate a cached,
constructed L1 PT page, this saves us from having to copy the kernel
L1 PTEs into the user L1 PT page at fork time (it's already set up).
A simple test shows a 1 second improvement of a rapid fork/exit operation
10000 times on a 533MHz 21164A (12s to 11s).
