The wiki page is a very recent thing (much more recent than
projects/numa) and I hope it will serve as a task list for the current
round of work.  However, even if it is a bit of a simplistic overview.
In my most recent talks with Jeff, some of the VM changes are quite a
bit more involved than that page implies (e.g. the need to use multiple
vmem's (one per domain) in the kmem layer).

I've seen the rest of this thread, but I am curious what you have
internally?  I wrote the very simple first-touch bits that were
committed to 9 that I used in production on 7.x and 8.x (and have since
been replaced in 10.x and later), but it was very simple and did not
expose anything API-wise.
