    kernel - Greatly improve concurrent fork's and concurrent exec's
    
    * Rewrite all the vm_fault*() API functions to use a two-stage methodology
      which keeps track of whether a shared or exclusive lock is being used
      on fs.first_object and fs.object.  For most VM faults a shared lock is
      sufficient, particularly under fork and exec circumstances.
    
      If the shared lock is not sufficient the functions will back-down to an
      exclusive lock on either or both elements.
    
    * Implement shared chain locks for use by the above.
    
    * kern_exec - exec_map_page() now attempts to access the page with a
      shared lock first, and backs down to an exclusive lock if the page
      is not conveniently available.
    
    * vm_object ref-counting now uses atomic ops across the board.  The
      acquisition call can operate with a shared object lock.  The deallocate
      call will optimize decrementation of ref_count for values above 3 using
      an atomic op without needing any lock at all.
    
    * vm_map_split() and vm_object_collapse() and associated functions are now
      smart about handling terminal (e.g. OBJT_VNODE) VM objects and will use
      a shared lock when possible.
    
    * When creating new shadow chains in front of a OBJT_VNODE object, we no
      longer enter those objects onto the OBJT_VNODE object's shadow_head.
      That is, only DEFAULT and SWAP objects need to track who might be shadowing
      them.  TODO: This code needs to be cleaned up a bit though.
    
      This removes another exclusive object lock from the critical path.
    
    * vm_page_grab() will use a shared object lock when possible.
