I guess.  When I add my stuff I'll further clean it up :-)  There still
may be some latency sensitive applications that would benefit from some
pinned TLBs, but if we ever find them I guess we can fetch anything useful
from archives.  I'm glad this exercise actually found the couple of tlb
management bugs.  So much to do, so little time.........

Thanks.
