The recent change to make vmobjlock & friends into RW locks is still a bit
useless because while PG_BUSY can be observed or held off while holding a
RW_READER lock, nothing can be done if it's set.  To fix that I'd like to
change it so that the WANTED flag is stored in pg->pqflags and covered by
pg->interlock.

>From there it's not huge strech to imagine how you might do basic page fault
handing for already in-core pages while holding only a read lock.
