This is allocated regardless of whether dirty tracking is enabled, so
this adds overhead to the common case in order to reduce user overhead
(not correctness) in the rare condition that dirty tracking is enabled,
and the even rarer condition that there's a fault during that case.
This is not a good trade-off.  Thanks,

Alex
