You probably meant you wanted to use a UMA zone.  m_tag's can already be 
allocated using this mechanism.  I did it once for vlan tags but botched it 
(didn't handle module references properly) so backed it. But there's no 
reason someone cannot redo it or convert other heavily used fixed size tags 
to use a zone.
