The thing is, from a scheduling standpoint, one of the primary performance concerns in the TLB switch. And there's a 1:1 relationship between TLB switch and MM container, modulo the issue of kernel tasks (and those obviously "borrow" approproate MM structs to avoid the switch). So it's not weird at all. It's very direct, and a very straightforward and obvious relationship.
