Yes, I think you are correct, and it was indeed reverted.

But it looks like the functions that were introduced in the above
commit are still WIP and don't actually flip anything yet:

307buf_flip_high(struct buf *bp)

313 /* XXX does nothing to buffer for now */

317buf_flip_dma(struct buf *bp)

Thank you for clarifying. This is a quite big deal, for anyone with lots
of disk IO and RAM. This will be #2 on my OpenBSD wishlist for the year.
How complex is this to implement, and who would be able to do it?
May donor powers come to me or someone else this year to contribute.
OpenBSD is the finest OS out there.
