    If you want to separate out private mappings like that I think the
    LWBUFs have to cached just like they are with SFBUFs.  I like the
    use of the objcache but I think the LWBUF code needs to retain 
    a sysctl-programmable number of lwb elements in a RBTREE and try to
    reuse the mappings.  i.e. it needs to be a bit more sophisticated
    then your current design.
Why do these bufs have to go into an rbtree?  indexed by the page?  is the 
same page mapped so often?
