Dear hackers,

Can somebody point me at some documentation about FreeBSD kernel memory
management? I do mean allocating/deallocating memory needed by kernel
routines. I need frequent allocating/releasing of fixed length structures. 
Are the routines zalloc(i)/zfree(i) from vm/vm_zone.c the right way of
doing this? They seem promising. :)

thank you
