+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vm - hyra kernel dynamic memory allocation
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In vm/dynalloc.h
+
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This subsystem is an abstraction over the Two-Level Segregated
+Fit memory allocator and provides wrappers for allocating, reallocating
+and deallocating memory from a pool allocated per-core.
+
+The
+.Ft dynalloc()
+function is analogous to malloc() in other systems.
+
+The
+.Ft dynrealloc()
+function is analogous to realloc() in other systems.
+
+The
+.Ft dynfree()
+function is analogous to free() in other systems.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vm - hyra machine independent virtual memory layer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In vm/vm.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The Hyra virtual memory subsystem handles various aspects of
+virtual memory like memory mapping, keeping track of the virtual
+memory context per core, etc.
+
+The term `kernel physical address' will be used to describe physical
+addresses that are mapped to the higher half.
+
+The
+.Ft VM_HIGHER_HALF
+macro points to the higher half of the virtual memory space...
+The mapping of kernel physical addresses to virtual addresses are
+done with respect to the higher half, i.e., virtual = physical + hddm
+(where hddm is the higher half). This cleanly reserves the lower half
+of the virtual address space for userspace applications.
+
+The
+.Ft PHYS_TO_VIRT
+macro converts a kernel physical address to a higher half
+virtual address.
+
+The
+.Ft VIRT_TO_PHYS
+macro converts a higher half virtual address to a kernel
+physical address.
