On a SNB laptop, so surplus memory and surplus processing power, we don't
see that many faults at all whilst messing around with firefox, gitk and a
couple of timedemos (padman, openarena):

no-prefaulting:
  pread: shmem fast: 1273764/3395, slow: 0/0
  pwrite: sheme fast: 51163148/14554, slow: 23552/9
  pwrite: gtt fast: 32744702068/12658489, slow: 29376/10

all-prefaulted:
  pread: shmem fast: 6081544/5999, slow: 0/0
  pwrite: shmem fast: 56867580/15932, slow: 0/0
  pwrite: gtt fast: 32976168476/12753355, slow: 0/0

I'll look at a PNV netbook next.
