Yes, I just wanted to make sure this was really needed (that is,
the external storage of a mbuf can be multiply-mapped on some occasion).
I tried removing the queue flush from the free routine, and didn't notice
any problems with that yet (but it could just be that I'm lucky, or that
my workload doesn't cause any multiple mappings at all).
