        src/sys/miscfs/genfs [uebayasi-xip]: genfs_io.c

Log Message:
Resurrect PGO_ZERO support.

When vnode pager encounters hole pages in XIP'ed vnodes, it fills
page slots with PGO_ZERO and returns them back to the caller (fault
handler).  Fault handlers are responsible to check page slots and
redirect PGO_ZERO to the single "zero page" allocated by calling
uvm_page_zeropage_alloc(9).

The zero page is wired, read-only (PG_RDONLY) page.  It's shared
by multiple vnodes, it has no single owner.

XIP'ed vnodes are supposed to be "stable" during I/O (unlocked).
Because XIP'ed mounts are always read-only.  There's no chance to
change mappings of XIP'ed vnodes and their XIP'ed pages.  Thus the
cached uobj is reused after pgo_get() for PGO_ZERO.

(Do we need a new concept of "read-only UVM object"?)
