The fix (1f8fc82a) seems to fix my problem I was talking about
on kernel@ the other day, so I jumped in here :), but I started
seeing this occasional warning message on the console under load:

  vm_prefault: Warning, backing object race averted lobject 0xffffffe062f5bf20

I also caught a panic in vm_object_deallocate_locked() afterwards:

#15 0xffffffff8052df79 in vm_object_deallocate_locked (
    object=0xffffffe06298f420) at /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_object.c:601
601                             LIST_REMOVE(object, shadow_list);

597                                     break;
598                             vm_object_unlock(temp);
599                     }
600                     if (temp) {
601                             LIST_REMOVE(object, shadow_list);
602                             temp->shadow_count--;
603                             temp->generation++;
604                             object->backing_object = NULL;
605                             vm_object_lock_swap();
