Hi Max - There is nothing publically available (that I am aware of) on the VM 2.0 effort. As you can imagine, it's massive, with changes making their way into Solaris today as part of the move to a new virtual memory system.
For example, the VPM (vnode page mappings) work that is now in NV (http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/vm/vpm.h), represents a step towards VM 2.0. I'm not sure what the timeline is on getting to the whole enchilada, but I'm thinking it's at least another 2 years or so...
