b2a52f6208 Kernel: Implement lazy committed page allocation
By designating a committed page pool we can guarantee to have physical
pages available for lazy allocation in mappings. However, when forking
we will overcommit. The assumption is that worst-case it's better for
the fork to die due to insufficient physical memory on COW access than
the parent that created the region. If a fork wants to ensure that all
memory is available (trigger a commit) then it can use madvise.

This also means that fork now can gracefully fail if we don't have
enough physical pages available.

48bbfe51fb Kernel: Add some InodeVMObject type assertions in Region::clone()
Let's make sure that we're never cloning shared inode-backed objects
as if they were private, and vice versa.

651417a085 Kernel: Split InodeVMObject into two subclasses
We now have PrivateInodeVMObject and SharedInodeVMObject, corresponding
to MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED respectively.

Note that PrivateInodeVMObject is not used yet.
