Description
Partial followup to #278.
Until we decide to do #320 (with proper tests and so forth), we should remove the vestigial code in support of it. There's a fair amount of it and it's kind of confusing (plus it's completely untested).

Research direction
Start by tracing the vestigial code supporting fault-on-access shared pages, then read the context in issues #278 and #320. Remove only the unused support described here; do not implement #320, and verify that the existing project checks still pass.
