The fix that I created using a new function called vm_map_split is probably
not our final solution.  I was just chatting with Alan Cox (from Rice
University), and he had another interesting approach, that might be cleaner
(and have less impact) than mine.  It is possible that I'll implement his
idea before 3.0.  (However, there are alot more pressing issues and
important capabilities that are being worked on and added.)  So, since
the vm_map_split is probably good enough, Alan's ideas will probably
be coming out in 3.1.
