Subject: Plan to enable parallel faults handling

I'd like to move forward with parallel fault handling.  This has been
properly tested on amd64, i386 and arm64.  sparc64 pmap needs some love
and enabling this will expose the existing bugs.

My plan is to enable parallel faults on amd64 and arm64 as a first step
then i386 because it is where swapping is properly exercised. 

Does that sound sane, do you agree with this approach?
