I don't think the factoring of some of the common code in vput and vrele into vputrele was a very good idea. The problem is that the locking semantics are very different which makes it tricky. Tricky code is *evil*. Factoring is a good habit in many cases, but sometimes we need to look at other aspects of code quality than processor cache efficiencies or whatever benefit that was used to make this decision.
