Thanks for the answer. The paper on the FBSD VM rewrite was very informative and
explained a complex issue of VM design clearly and coherently. It was enjoyable
to read and I'll certainly be waiting for your future papers on Dragonfly.
BTW, I apologize for misspelling your name. Hope you're not holding this against
me :)

Well, certainly, once time permits, I will write papers on various
DragonFly mechanisms. The VM system is not something I intend to
rewrite again, though certainly some modifications will eventually be
required to make it more SMP friendly. I'm fairly satisfied with the
current VM infrastructure. The only thing I really want to add to it
is a device-layer copy-on-write feature to avoid read-fault-stall-on-write
issues.
