This is definitely not a discussion I hoped for.

Still, the i386 cannot have much benefit from the unmapped buffers,
just because thre is no facilities similar to the direct map for amd64.
i386 must use transient mapping even for unmapped buffers to copy
the data to the usermode.

Also, as I understand the history, VMIO buffers, or unified page/buffer
cache, only appeared in the FreeBSD.
