VMIO read
If possible, i.e. if the requested range is resident valid in the vm
object queue, and some secondary conditions hold, copy data for
read(2) directly from the valid cached pages, avoiding vnode lock and
instantiating buffers. I intentionally do not start read-ahead, nor
handle the advises on the cached range.
Filesystems indicate support for VMIO reads by setting VIRF_PGREAD
flag, which must not be cleared until vnode reclamation.
Currently only filesystems that use vnode pager for v_objects can
enable it, due to reliance on vnp_size. There is a WIP to handle it
for tmpfs.
