NAME

     pmap_init, pmap_init2 — initialize the pmap subsystem

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     void
     pmap_init(void);

     void
     pmap_init2(void);

DESCRIPTION

     The pmap_init() function initializes the pmap(9) sub-system.  It is called during system
     initialization by vm_init(), to initialize any structures that the pmap_init system needs in
     order to map between physical and virtual memory.

     The pmap_init2() function initializes a zone for the PV entries.  These are used to
     implement page sharing at the physical level.  A high water mark is set so that the system
     can recover from excessive numbers of PV entries.
