I am working on a fix now. The problem is due to a deadlock introduced
by the new getpages and putpages code. I am going to complete the work
to fix the problem instead of committing a hack to fix the problem.
(which is to say, I am going getting rid of the weird page arrays and
tons of code related to them and replace the whole mess with UIO_NOCOPY
I/O).
