43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn pmap_init
46function initializes the
47.Xr pmap 9
48sub-system.
49It is called during system initialization by
50.Fn vm_init ,
51to initialize any structures that the
52.Nm
53system needs in order to map between physical and virtual memory.
54.Pp
55The
56.Fn pmap_init2
57function initializes a zone for the PV entries.
58These are used to implement page sharing at the physical level.
59A high water mark is set so that the system can recover from
60excessive numbers of PV entries.
