They were inserted when I had some locking problems on split pages.
After I spoke to Martin and checked that we absolutely have no reference
to the gmap anymore and hence can not end up in gmap_split_free at the
same time I decided to remove them.

However, they should rather have never been introduced in the split
patch than being removed here... My current internal branch has this
fixed, as well as some other rebasing mistakes.
