    kernel - Fix indefinite wait buffer during heavy swapping
    
    * Fix a deadlock which can occur between CAM and the VM system due to
      a bug in uiomove_nofault() when called via vop_helper_read_shortcut().
    
      If the backing store is swapped out, vm_fault()/vm_fault_object() attempts
      to page the data in instead of telling uiomove_nofault() to give up.
      This can result in a deadlock against the underlying vm_page's in the
      file that might already be undergoing I/O.
    
    * Probably also reported by other people over the years, but could never
      track it down until now.
