Hi Alan,

This commit makes my box crash with HEAD at startup. Please back it out
and investige why it happens. I'm pretty sure that it happens for RELENG_6 too.

   Correct a very old and very obscure bug: vmspace_fork() calls
   pmap_copy() if the mapping is VM_INHERIT_SHARE.  Suppose the mapping
   is also wired.  vmspace_fork() clears the wiring attributes in the vm
   map entry but pmap_copy() copies the PG_W attribute in the PTE.  I
   don't think this is catastrophic.  It blocks pmap_remove_pages() from
   destroying the mapping and corrupts the pmap's wiring count.

   This revision fixes the problem by changing pmap_copy() to clear the
   PG_W attribute.
