# To avoid memory fragmentation issues our slab implementation can be
# based on a virtual address space.  Interestingly, we take a pretty
# substantial performance penalty for this somewhere in the low level
# IO drivers.  If we back the slab with kmem pages we see far better
# read performance numbers at the cost of memory fragmention and general
# system instability due to large allocations.  This may be because of
# an optimization in the low level drivers due to the contigeous kmem
# based memory.  This needs to be explained.  The good news here is that
# with zerocopy interfaces added at the DMU layer we could gaurentee
# kmem based memory for a pool of pages.
