/*
* pagerops for OBJT_DEFAULT - "default pager".
*
* This pager handles anonymous (no handle) swap-backed memory, just
* like the swap pager. It allows several optimizations based on the
* fact that no pages of a default object can be swapped out. The
* most important optimization is in vm_fault(), where the pager is
* never asked for a non-resident page. Instead, a freshly allocated
* zeroed page is used.
*
* On the first request to page out a page from a default object, the
* object is converted to swap pager type.
