Modified Files:
        sharesrc/share/man/man9: uvm.9
        syssrc/sys/arch/arm/arm32: cpu.c

        syssrc/sys/uvm: uvm_extern.h uvm_glue.c

Log Message:
change uvm_uarea_alloc() to indicate whether the returned uarea is already
backed by physical pages (ie. because it reused a previously-freed one),
so that we can skip a bunch of useless work in that case.
this fixes the underlying problem behind PR 18543, and also speeds up fork()
quite a bit (eg. 7% on my pc, 1% on my ultra2) when we get a cache hit.
