I'm looking at bmap.  When I wrote that email, the earliest released
reference I could find was in 4.3-Reno.  However, I just spotted it in
4.2, which is a much more reasonable time frame (it moved to a
different file which is why I missed it before).  However, the files
in question don't even exist in the git branches from dspinellis's
repository.  I had to find them on tuhs.org.  Am I doing something
wrong, or are dspinellis's release branches not fully populated?
Compare https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/tree/BSD-4_3_Reno-Snapshot-Development/usr/src/sys/sys
to https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.3BSD-Reno/src/sys/sys
