uml: speed up exec
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
flush_thread doesn't need to do a full page table walk in order to clear the
address space.  It knows what the end result needs to be, so it can call unmap
directly.

This results in a 10-20% speedup in an exec from bash.
