New Revision: 260205
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/260205

Log:
  Update the description for pmap_remove_pages() to match the modern
  times [1].  Assert that the pmap passed to pmap_remove_pages() is only
  active on current CPU.

+ * This function cannot be applied to the kernel pmap.  Moreover, it
+ * is not intended for general use.  It is only to be used during
+ * process termination.  Consequently, it can be implemented in ways
+ * that make it faster than pmap_remove().  First, it can more quickly
+ * destroy mappings by iterating over the pmap's collection of PV
+ * entries, rather than searching the page table.  Second, it doesn't
+ * have to test and clear the page table entries atomically, because
+ * no processor is currently accessing the user address space.  In
+ * particular, a page table entry's dirty bit won't change state once
+ * this function starts.
