to actually fail is currently disabled, as this would enable some new code
in vm_map_pageable() (disabled in this commit) that hasn't been used to
date. I'm fairly confident it is all OK, but shall test it some more once
the rest of the kernel is more stable, before enabling it.
it seems to keep the vm system from deadlocking the system when it runs
out of swap + physical memory.
prevents the system from giving the last page(s) to anything but the
referenced "processes" (especially important is the pager process,
which should never have to wait for a free page).
