    A full blown cache coherency model will be used, the beginnings of
    which can be found in /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_ccms.c.  The header
    file /usr/src/sys/sys/ccms.h has a fairly good description of how
    state is recorded.  The SYSLINK infrastructure, which will be
    used to communicate state changes, doesn't exist yet.
