pmap_enter() is responsible for entering and changing KVA and physical
memory address mappings.  I think it's in the p.178 - 180 range of the
4.4BSD book (I was just looking at this last weekend).

pmap_enter() is just used to enter the page mapping--it doesn't
actually acquire the data from wherever it's been.  If you look
around in uvm_fault(), I think you'll find that the pager (through
uobj->pgops) is responsible.
