Thanks, BTW, there are a million ways to speed up VM startup without both complicating the core VM *and* slowing down everybody that gets a speedup from cache-hot pages coming out of the allocator. Use ramfs or hugetlbfs files. Have a bunch of them sitting around, preallocated (and zeroed) and dole them out as VMs start up. Instead of complicating the core VM, do the pre-zeroing in hugetlbfs. Zeroing at the time the pages get added to the pool wouldn't be the worst thing and wouldn't touch the core VM.
