You don't really have the same symptoms that Don is reporting.
Threads being stuck in btalloc implies a KVA shortage. So:
- What do you mean by "stuck in vmdaemon"?
- Which commits specifically cause problems? Does reverting r329882 fix the
  hang?
- Can you break to DDB and get "show page" output when the hang occurs?
- What is the system doing to cause the hang to occur?
