I've constructed a test patch that is currently addressing all the
issues on my system.

The portion of Openmotif that was having issues with page faults works
correctly with this patch, and gcc-4.4.5 builds without issue.

I extracted only the portion of the first patch that corrects the
handling of dirty_pages when copied==0, and incorporated the second
patch that falls back to one-page-at-a-time if there are troubles with
page faults.
