hi,

the solution I'd prefer is that ubc_fault() be changed to not need to
know the object's size.  this would allow us to use the UBC interfaces
for non-vnode objects as well, which is desirable for its own sake.
I was just talking with someone else on what was needed for this,
give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with.
