I prefer the overhead of this, but the resulting behavior seems pretty
non-intuitive.  Any invalidated vaddr blocks all vaddr use cases, which
almost suggests the unmap _VADDR flag should only be allowed with the
_ALL flag, but then the map _VADDR flag can only be per mapping, which
would make accounting and recovering from _VADDR + _ALL pretty
complicated.  Thanks,

Alex
