Alan Cox 6039d0b777 Merge portions of r208645 and supporting code from the i386 pmap:
When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I created
  an ordering dependence: A pmap operation that clears PG_WRITEABLE and calls
  vm_page_dirty() must perform the call first.  Otherwise, pmap_is_modified()
  could return FALSE without acquiring the page queues lock because the page
  is not (currently) writeable, and the caller to pmap_is_modified() might
  believe that the page's dirty field is clear because it has not seen the
  effect of the vm_page_dirty() call.

  When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I
  overlooked one place where this ordering dependence is violated:
  pmap_enter().  In a rare situation pmap_enter() can be called to replace a
  dirty mapping to one page with a mapping to another page.  (I say rare
  because replacements generally occur as a result of a copy-on-write fault,
  and so the old page is not dirty.)  This change delays clearing PG_WRITEABLE
  until after vm_page_dirty() has been called.

  Fixing the ordering dependency also makes it easy to introduce a small
  optimization: When pmap_enter() used to replace a mapping to one page with a
  mapping to another page, it freed the pv entry for the first mapping and
  later called the pv entry allocator for the new mapping.  Now, pmap_enter()
  attempts to recycle the old pv entry, saving two calls to the pv entry
  allocator.

  There is no point in setting PG_WRITEABLE on unmanaged pages, so don't.
