--- Comment #2 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
I'm not a big fan of this patch: the typos don't really hurt readability, a=
nd
fixing them will pollute the commit history, making it harder to find the
original commit that added a given line.

The changes are also not really consistent.  For example:
- One change to swap_pager.c changes "SWAP" to "OBJT_SWAP", but leaves
"DEFAULT" as-is.
- One hunk changes one instance "type-stability" to "type stability" (why?),
but that term appears in multiple places in sys/vm.
- A couple of changes add a period to the end of a sentence, but leave the
sentence uncapitalized.

If we are going to churn the sources, the diff should fix as many problems =
as
possible while not introducing inconsistencies.  In general I'd prefer to s=
ee
patches that rewrite comments to make them more useful, fixing typos as a s=
ide
effect, or simply deleting self-evident comments like /* remove kernel mapp=
ings
*/ followed by a pmap_qremove() call.
