That is an Alan Cox commit ("arm64: Introduce and
use pmap_pte_exists()") after one of yours,

fb38b29b5609b0c0769b2b2e1d6c917c0799f2a0
("vm_page: Remove extra test, dup code from page alloc")
(38 hours ago)

That is one of yours ("vm: alloc pages from reserv before
breaking it"), 24 hours ago.

I'll also note that:

=
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-src-main/2021-December/0024=
37.html

claims to have seen problems before:

0d5fac287294490ac488d74e598e019334610bdb (vm: alloc pages from reserv=20
before breaking it)

and was hoping that progressing to that one would be a fix.
