Details

Summary

The details of this initialization belong in vm_kern.c anyway, and allow
me to use KVA_QUANTUM in vm_kern.c without defining it in a header.

No functional change intended.

It's not clear to me that using vmem_alloc() as the import function guarantees alignment. I fear that we are only guaranteed that the size is a multiple of KVA_QUANTUM.

I think you're right, and the problem is only hidden as a result of the current kernel arena usage patterns. In particular, vmem freelist entries aren't necessarily size-aligned.
