Question about process.c

Hi all, hi Richard,

I have a question - is it really necessary to pass a "force" flag to a 
tlb flush before doing a fork (in process.c)?

If the flush is not forced, the fork becomes significantly less 
expensive. I tried running a couple of crude tests and did not notice 
anything broken if the flush there is done without a "force" flag.
