What were the symptoms of this issue?  The test plan in the linked
phabricator revision says:

"Gleb reported seeing panics as a result of the use of a bogus index
into the pagequeue array, and also reported that this patch fixed the
panics."

So an attempt to lock pagequeues[PQ_NONE=255].pq_mutex, which is
either something later in the vm_domain object, or bogus memory?  One
of the mtx asserts trips?

Thanks,
Conrad
