:
:How does it compare to the attached patch which came up in the
:FreeBSD-users-jp mailing list in Japan some time ago?
:
:It gives users an option to switch the behavior via sysctl(8), and
:does <<bsd_args.flags |= MAP_NOSYNC;>> in a different place.
:
:The patch was originally posted by sanpei@FreeBSD.org, and is
:mentioned in Hints.FreeBSD of the vmware2 port, FYI.
    
    Hmm.  I like the placement of the MAP_NOSYNC in the patch I committed
    better.  In regards to the sysctl... well, I don't think it is necessary
    to add it in, KISS principle and all that, but I (or another committer)
    could be convinced to put it in if someone wants it badly enough.
