Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Dirty Page Tracking & on-the-fly memory mirroring

This patch implements dirty page tracking and re-dirty detection.  We 
use one
of the programmer bits in the PTE to implement a "soft dirty" bit.  In the
VM subsystem, all tests for dirty pages check the logical OR of the 
hardware
dirty bit and the "soft dirty" bit; if either one is set the page is
considered "dirty" for VM purposes.  To speed up the scanning passes this
patch also implements a bitmapped side-list of dirty physical pages.
