Hmm, makes me wonder of some laziness of the page mapping or a missing
lock-against-swapping causes this. Could you have a closer look at the
tracer code if we are lacking some magic for the vmalloc trace buffer
(compare to the xnheap code, e.g.)?

This might shadow earlier page faults, i.e. during the first triggerings.
