Your patch makes this configuration work: RELENG_7 on VMWare Server with
256 MB of memory, without any tuning to sysctl.conf and loader.conf.
This is as bad environment (wrt memory pressure and timings) as you can
get :)

With this patch the (virtual) machine survives portsnap fetch extract,
where before the patch it would soon panic with kmem_map too small.

You have my vote to commit it :)
