No, now a 0 is passed everywhere. uvm didn't use this
argument. (And I can't imagine how it could be used,
given that the pmap module is free to have the physical
mapping lag behind the logical.)

As Jason says, it should be removed. I've prepared
a patch which I'll post in a minute.
Unfortunately, we don't save any cycles for now
because uvm_fault() needs one more argument for
the uvm_fault_wire case.
