Theres a comment to change iov_base in struct iovec to a void * which would be 
a pretty simple patch, just to cast it whenever doing math, but should it be 
changed to be more forward thinking?  What about systems like x86 with PAE 
where a pointer cant address the whole memory space?   I dont have the 
FreeBSD sources on hand, but is it vm_offset_t?  Is this not an issue right 
now?  Just a thought.
