+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pmap_pinit ,
+.Nm pmap_pinit0 ,
+.Nm pmap_pinit2
+.Nd initialize pmap structures
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In vm/vm.h
+.In vm/pmap.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn pmap_pinit "pmap_t pmap"
+.Ft void
+.Fn pmap_pinit0 "pmap_t pm"
+.Ft void
+.Fn pmap_pinit2 "pmap_t pmap"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pmap_pinit
+function initializes the preallocated and zeroed structure
+.Fa pmap ,
+such as one in a
+.Vt vmspace
+structure.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pmap_pinit0
+function initializes the physical map
+.Fa pm ,
+associated with process 0, the first process created in the system.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn pmap_pinit2
+function wires in kernel global address entries for the physical map
+.Fa pmap ,
+which must be associated with a user process.
+It is called during process creation.
+.Pp
+To avoid a race condition between
+.Fa pmap
+intialization and
+.Fn pmap_growkernel ,
+.Fn pmap_pinit2
+should be called after the vmspace
+is attached to the process but before this
+.Fa pmap
+is activated.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+The
+.Fn pmap_pinit2
+function has been deprecated, and should be implemented as a stub
+until further notice.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr pmap 9 ,
+.Xr pmap_growkernel 9
