Yes.  This is going to be necessary; we see here:

that it's seeing all the memory.  It has to base it's calculations
on the amount of real memory available for use in wired pages for
KVA.

Jake could better tell you how much KVA/UVA is lost to the bank
selection overhead; a good guesstimate (IMO) would be to use the
value of "3G" for the calculations for all the kernel allocations
that the "automatic" of "MAXUSERS=0" selects.

You may also want to just try (as a quick-and-dirty hack) setting
"MAXUSERS=256" or something similar, and see if it gets you to an
initial (badly tuned) boot.
