This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF
coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd
anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular
creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes
forever to just walk through the page tables because of
all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64.
With this change it takes only a second or so.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
