There are no longer any sync writes as a result of using an MMAP'd history file in inn. There is no obvious corruption of history file or associated .pag file. Note that there is a similar bug in 2.2.x. The fix is similar, but needs some thought since there appears to be a problem with the parameters to vm_object_page_clean(). In particular, `syncio' is defined as boolean_t, as passed as the `waitfor' argument to VOP_FSYNC() - which is MNT_ASYNC or MNT_SYNC elsewhere. I haven't had the time to work out the correct definitions.
