[U]VM related links

[Farid Hajji]

Hi Folks,

here is a collection of links related to VM systems, inkluding UVM.
Especially interesting right now are:
  http://ccrc.wustl.edu/pub/chuck/psgz/diss.ps.gz
  http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?uvm+9+NetBSD-current
  http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pmap+9+NetBSD-current
  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/uvm/
  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/i386/pmap.c

If someone is eager to start hacking right now, he may start by
writing a pmap.c for L4 X.0 (Hazelnut). See pmap(9) man page and
i386 example implementation above.

As an theoretical excercise, you can also write a pmap.c against
the latest L4 X.2 spec; though you can't test it until Pistachio
is released ;)

Enjoy! ;-)
