Log:
  As an optimization to the machine-independent layer, change the machine-
  dependent pmap_ts_referenced() so that it updates the page's dirty field
  if a modified bit is found while counting reference bits.  This
  opportunistic update can be performed at low cost and can eliminate the
  need for some future calls to pmap_is_modified() by the machine-
  independent layer.
