+	 This should allow better concurrency for massively threaded process
+	 since the page fault handler will not wait for other threads memory
+	 layout change to be done, assuming that this change is done in another
+	 part of the process's memory space. This type of page fault is named
+	 speculative page fault.
+
+	 If the speculative page fault fails because of a concurrency is
+	 detected or because underlying PMD or PTE tables are not yet
+	 allocating, it is failing its processing and a classic page fault
+	 is then tried.
