>Description:
UVM seems to not initialize the mod/ref state for a page freshly pulled from a page free list.  Of course, this page was free, and so the mod/ref state should be pristine.

It stands to reason that such a page should start out with mod and ref being false.  Perhaps this gets harmonized later once the page is part of a ZFOD or a page-in or something.  But I thought I'd file this PR so that I don't forget to at least bring it up at some point.
