The tuning guide says: """By default the kernel receives 1GB of the 4GB of address space available on the i386 architecture, and this is used for all of the kernel address space needs, not just the kmem map. By increasing KVA_PAGES you can allocate a larger proportion of the 4GB address space...""" and: """recompile your kernel with increased KVA_PAGES option, to increase the size of the kernel address space, before vm.kmem_size can be increased beyond 512M""" What is the other 512 MB of the 1 GB used for?
