This is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault
occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory that is
currently not available. Catching and handling a page fault is a useful
technique for implementing:

* pageable virtual memory,
* memory-mapped access to persistent databases,
* generational garbage collectors,
* stack overflow handlers,
* distributed shared memory,
