Are these my vm_mpa.c changes to fix the mmap backing object size
being incorrect?

I'd like to keep track of these changes and what they appear to fix
or not.  There is still a VM page alias problem that I can readily
demonstrate, on a statistical basis, and there is a page corruption
problem having to do with mmap'ed objects (ie: the fixes don't fix
everything).

Knowing what is or isn't fixed by the changes will narrow the scope
of my search for the remaining problems (I'm looking when I have
time, which unfortuantely isn't very often).
