There are no plans for libmapalloc in Xorg or Xsun.
If you're referring to Xsun's usage of mmap'ed anonymous segments for large
pixmaps, we don't have particular plans to port that to Xorg either. (Xsun
originally did this for pixmaps larger than 8k, we had to raise the limit to
1mb a couple of years ago when one of the early dtrace experiments found that
doing so was causing TLB thrashing on busy Sun Ray servers.)
