Here's an updated version of the patch that doesn't do the funky RISC like
dirty bit updates. It doesn't incur the additional overhead of page
faults on dirty, which actually happens a lot on SHM attaches
(during Oracle runs this is quite noticeable due to their use of
hundreds of MB of SHM). Ted: Note that there are a couple of other SMP
races that still need fixing: list them under VM threading bug under SMP
(different bug).
