Re: should we use atomic instructions to manipulate vmstats.v_wire_count?
None of the VM system is MP safe.
kmalloc() and kfree() are MP safe, as is the OBJCACHE code
(kern/kern_objcache.c).
zalloc and friends are deprecated. Only a few subsystems still use
it and none of them are MP safe. Most can easily be converted to
using the objcache though the pmap code would probably need special
attention.
