* Since the page scanner and thief can work more effectively when no vm_caches

are locked, there is now a vm_page_reserve_pages() call to ensure upfront that
  there is a page for me when I need it, and may have locked some caches.
* The vm_soft_fault() routine now makes use of that feature.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
  cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
  write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
  now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
  the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
  want.
