- * anyone who might pick it with bread() afterwards...

- * Also.. Note that bforget() doesn't lock the buffer. So there can
- * be writeout I/O going on against recently-freed buffers. We don't
- * wait on that I/O in bforget() - it's more efficient to wait on the I/O
- * only if we really need to. That happens here.
