table, acquiring the necessary locks as it works. It usually returns
two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the
first thing they previously did was grab an extra reference on the
file.

- The above change allows for the eliminaton of the last parameter
to vm_pageout_flush().
- Synchronize access to the page's valid field in vm_pageout_flush()
using the containing object's lock.
- Specifying VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK should not assume that the start
address is the beginning of the map. Instead, move to the first
entry after the start address.
- The implementation of VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK was incomplete. This
caused the failure of mlockall(2) in some circumstances.
Use EP_{READ,WRITE}{,_MULTI}_{1,2,4} instead. I've had several people
submit patches like this over the years of varying qualities, markm
being the last. The names were chosen in consulation with mdodd on

I've tested this with only PCMCIA cards: 3CCE589EC and 3CCSH572BT.
I've not tried with my more extensive ISA, EISA and cbus collection.
