Hi,

The current code for KERN_TLS uses PHYS_TO_DMAP()
to access unmapped external pages on m_ext.ext_pgs
mbufs.
I also need to do this to implement RPC-over-TLS.

The problem is that some arches, like i386, don't
support PHYS_TO_DMAP().

Since it appears that there will be at most 4 pages on
one of these mbufs, my thinking was...
- Acquire four pages of kva from the kernel_map during
  booting.
- Then just use pmap_qenter() to fill in the physical page
  mappings for long enough to copy the data.

Does this sound reasonable?
Is there a better way?

Thanks for your comments, rick
