>Description:
        consider that we have enough free pages but little swap.
        1. uvm_analloc fails due to vm_map trylock failure.
        2. uvm_reclaimable returns false.  while we have plenty of
           free pages, it doesn't mean we have reclaimable pages.
        3. now the faulting process dies saying out of swap.
>How-To-Repeat:
        
>Fix:
        kill trylock.
        or don't assume that uvm_analloc failure is always due to
        memory shortage.
