                if (VOP_GETVOBJECT(vp, &object) == 0) {
                        VM_OBJECT_LOCK(object);
                        vm_object_pip_wait(object, "vnvlbx");
                        VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK(object);
                }

That line is the VM_OBJECT_LOCK().  It looks like the mutex hasn't
been initialized and is just all zeros.
