>Description:
While previous MALLOC man pages do not appear to have included 
the M_KERNEL flag, the change to M_USE_RESERVE is difficult to 
arrive at when working with code written for pre rev 1.40
sys/malloc.h files.

	

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
Suggest addition of verbage describing M_USE_RESERVE with a note that
the previous option was called M_KERNEL at one point.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
You were the last person to make a technical content (as oppossed to 
formatting) change to this file, so you're probably better qualified 
to either (a) write the text recommended by the submitter, or (b) 
reassign the responsibility to someone who can.  Thanks.

Responsible-Changed-Why:  
David, since Matt cited you as a reviewer for his commit, I'm guessing 
that you either know wtf M_USE_RESERVE is, or know that it shouldn't be 
documented. Either piece of information will be appreciated. :-)

I can't get feedback from David, nor from Matt. Could you come up with 
a proposed diff?
