Analyzing wired memory?

Is it possible to track by some way what kernel system, process or 
thread has wired memory? (including "data exists but needs code to 
extract it")

I'd like to analyze a system where there is a lot of memory wired but 
not accounted for in the output of vmstat -m and vmstat -z. There are no 
user processes which would lock memory themselves.

Any pointers?
