tcache-terminology.patch:
------------------
This patch clarifies/fixes some terminology disagreement between the 
tcache documentation (in doxygen) and what the tcache actually does. 
This patch does not change semantics or behavior, but there is a 
function rename.  This is basically what is being clarified:

- DELETE: this is the act of a tcache user explicitly removing a 
particular entry from the cache
- PURGE: this is the implicit removal of an arbitrary old entry from the 
cache due to crossing either the soft or hard limit threshold

The actual name chosen for these operations isn't a big deal, but it 
does make things less confusing if the documentation/code/perf counters 
all agree on it :)
