Thanks, there is one piece of code that I actually intend to push down
into the MD code: the sfbufs allocator that is used to provide a kernel
virtual address for sendfile() and the zero-copy sockets code.  This
will benefit the 64-bit architectures in that they can then use their
direct virtual-to-physical mappings, avoiding page-by-page mapping and
TLB shootdown overheads.
