uvm replaced the machvm in netbsd.
For a time, Chuck set it up to run in parallel with the existing VM. You
could start a process and pick which vm it used. For a while, it defaulted
to the existing one. Then, at some point, it defaulted to uvm. Then, at some
point, the old one was removed.

chuck was a long time contributor to netbsd IIRC, but last time we talked,
he was using Linux.
These days I know he's hacking on FreeBSD's storage stack with me at work
:). I think he's still a netbsd contributor. I see his name in the commit
log often..
