Description Robert.Drehmel 2001-03-22 20:30:00 UTC 
	I think some information in the manual page for the VM zone allocator
	is inaccurate or just unclear expressed.
	A structure allocated by the zone allocator does not have to reserve
	its two first fields for allocation management pointers.  One of
	them is used to point to the next available item, but only if it is
	available itself; look at the patch for a description of the other
	one.
	The patch also adds a reference to a chapter in a book.

How-To-Repeat: 
	Look at the man page zone(9).

Someone with the requisite kernel-foo needs to look over this PR. 
I've emailed des (the author of the man page) to confirm that this 
submission is correct.

DES -- in your court at the moment.  Is the patch OK to be committed?

Jeff has rewritten the allocator.

The allocator was re-written, and so was the manual page to accomodate 
the new design (i.e. UMA).
