consume, in the kve_vminfo struct though ;)
Yes, to start with, you could replace the call to pmap_extract() with a
call to pmap_mincore() and export a Boolean to user space that says, "This
region of the address space contains one or more superpage mappings."
How about attached?
I like the idea -- there are some style nits that need fixing though.
Assuming Alan is happy with the VM side of things, I can do the cleanup and
get it in the tree.
