Actually, for compatibility purposes it's better to reverse the sense of
those bits.  i.e.
#define S_IMMAP0        000100000000 /* Definitely no mmap's to this.  */
#define S_IMMAP1        000100000000 /* Probably only one mmap to this.  */
 

Ok.  Should we change diskfs_get_filemap to accept a flag that says we 
do not
want to create the memory object if it doesn't exist already?  That 
seems to be
an important optimization to me if we call it in io_stat.
