3BSD-4.2 sounds about right -
My thinking w/o references (enthusiast but was not 'there' at the time) is that this was introduced with either the 32Bit VM system, FFS implementation, or BSD network starck - probably the McCusick FFS papers [ed: are worth a read].
Really it's kind of nuts how 'usable' and 'current' a load of 4.3BSD on a VM load feels out of the box.
