    Maybe I'll take a pass at the MD/MI stuff in general before I try to
    get the VM mutexes working.  Those are turning into a real bear - my
    roadmap is sound but I haven't had the time to really push into it.  It
    may indeed not be complete until after 5.0 (what you or Jake thought
    would happen at the usenix kernel meeting).
