called a scalable path. When several preconditions hold, the vm
object lock for the object containing the faulted page is taken in
read mode, instead of write, which allows parallel faults processing
in the region.
Namely, the fast path is taken when the faulted page already exists
and does not need copy on write, is already fully valid, and not busy.
For technical reasons, fast path is avoided when the fault is the
first write on the vnode object, or when the fault is for wiring or
debugger read or write.
On the fast path, pmap_enter(9) is passed the PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP flag,
since object lock is kept. Pmap might fail to create the entry, in
which case the fallback to slow path is performed.
