ping...would like to get this in if possible so I can move onto fixing
some things in vmm.

Hi,
For parallel IP forwarding I had put kernel lock around arpresolve()
as a quick workaround for crashes. Moving the kernel lock inside
the function makes the hot path lock free. I see slight prerformace
increase in my test and no lock contention in kstack flamegraph.

makes things easier.
I guess there is another question -- should the ps_kbind_* variables
be stored inside the uvmspace, rather than inside pr?

Whatever proc sets the kbind configuration,

Based upon the discussion of xterm a couple of days ago, I have been
working on a couple changes to reduce the privs of xterm in general,
by reducing the scope of the utmp egid by opening utmp early, improving
the unveil calls to match, and then tightening the pledge.
Additionally, some
