UVM was the VM system that replaced the old Mach style VM in NetBSD and (I
believe) OpenBSD. FreeBSD has already cleaned up a lot of the problems that
UVM addresses. However, there are still some things that could be done to 
make map passing easier, which I believe would make zero-copy support cleaner 
if not faster.

This is the UVM home page:
