Well from usage and kern_fork.c (/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c) and vm_glue.c (/usr/src/sys/vm/vm_glue.c) it seems that the current implementation does not 'require' this at all and it behaves as it should behave. Should I just forward a patch of some sort? or is there another reason for leaving that note in there...
