I wounder if it would be acceptable to pass down to faultaround a copy
of vmf, so it mess with it without risking to corrupt the original one?

We would need to transfer back prealloc_pte, but the rest can be safely
discarded, I believe.

But it's somewhat wasteful of stack. sizeof(vmf) == 96 on x86-64.
