If we use `m*' functions how will we do `vm_copy' and other Mach:isms? 
(It sounds like masochism, doesn't it? ;-)  It's best to use only one 
interface that can do all we'd want to -- the `vm_*' functions.  Later 
we can switch to using something like Kernel Abstraction Layer library. 
(Farid Hajji names it Virtual Kernel if i recall correctly.)
