I left out some detail on what I slowly paired down: I started running
xen daemons and domUs.  I got the kern_physio.c panic.  A few days
later after it was clear it was systemic, I tried just the xen daemons
with no domUs, got the kern_physio.c panic, after a few more days
of repititions, I killed the xen daemons and continue to get the
kern_physio.c panic.  I ran generic for a few days, didn't get any
panics, went back to xen kernel, didn't bother going back to starting
xen daemons and got a new panic.  I tried GENERIC kernels interpersed in
there and it was always fine.

Whether or not xen daemons running seems to have no impact.

However, in any case, it seems like a panic is never the right
behavior...

indeed it does.  The uvm_fault is a new one for me, but maybe the other
problem I was seeing was fixed exposing this one.  I'll try it with the
xen daemons running and see if it makes any difference and keep an eye
on your PR.
