But when pmap_enter() is called to wire the kernel stack, it should be
called with an access type (in the flags argument) of VM_PROT_READ |
VM_PROT_WRITE.  You can use this informat to seed the "referenced" emulation
and immediately set the valid bits in the PTEs.

...in fact, it looks like it does this already :-)

Ah, indeed :-)
