Currently we never actually check whether the WRITE_UNCHANGED
26ba25
permission has been taken for unchanging writes.  But the one check that
26ba25
is commented out checks both WRITE and WRITE_UNCHANGED; and considering
26ba25
that WRITE_UNCHANGED is already documented as being weaker than WRITE,
26ba25
we should probably explicitly document WRITE to include WRITE_UNCHANGED.
