           Summary: [BMalloc] Lazily allocate physical pages
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Currently we call madvise(p, vmSize, MADV_FREE_REUSE) when we want to commit physical pages to a range of reserved memory.  On Darwin systems, the kernel will do this for us as we touch the pages.  Therefore we can eliminate this call, reducing our memory footprint when pages within a range are not used.
