Thanks. I had tried kmem_alloc a few days ago and changed it for some
reason... I guess I'll try it again ;)
I see that the memoryallocators(9) manual happens to reference both
kmem_alloc(9) and uvm(9); but perhaps each should be added to the 'See
Also' section of the other's manual? Or- maybe a note next to
uvm_km_alloc stating that kmem_alloc is preferable in most situations?
Also, I assume that this will change nothing wrt uvm_map_pageable,
right?
Thanks,
