    kernel - Improve VM fault performance for sequential access
    
    * VM fault I/O pipelining was not working properly.
    
    * Temporarily fix pipelining by introducing PG_RAM, A read-ahead mark
      for vm_page_t, and adjust vm_fault to pass VM pages through to
      getpages calls if PG_RAM is set, even if they are fully valid.
    
    * Remove code in vnode_pager_generic_getpages() which shortcutted
      the operation when the requested page was fully valid.  This
      prevented read-aheads from being issued.
    
    * A more permanent solution is in the works (basically getting rid of
      the whole VM read-ahead/read-behind array entirely, just passing
      a single page through to vnode_pager_generic_getpages(), and
      letting the filesystem handle the read-ahead in a more efficient
      fashion.
