I think the idea is to do several _remove() or _add calls and then
synchronize the hardware with the expected state just once, for expensive
MMU hardware accesses.
I think you should update as long as you have control of the
program flow - something like within the same system call, unless you
depend on the access control yourself.
PMAP experts may correct me of course.
