I don't see how VM issues are related. The mbufs are referencing
allocated, mapped and wired pages via sf_bufs. The same way as they
did it since 1998. The only difference is that pages aren't populated
with data. No VM changes happen to the pages while the mbufs that
reference them sit in the socket buffer.

If you can describe the alternative design at least in some detail,
I am listening.
