I'd like to see this too. I will soon have two SMP boxes of my own to play
with for my own personal use and for an upcoming project, and at least one
will be available for SMP life-testing purposes for several months.
I really want to see two things: (1) Actual sharing of the physical pmap
between rfork(RFMEM|RFPROC)'d processes, and (2) Avoiding the %cr3 reload
( which clears the TLB ) when switching between such processes.
