Re: modload & xen and -current 9.99.60

[Frank Kardel <kardel%netbsd.org@localhost>]

I checked to same kernel in an instance with memory=2048 and it just works.

Using todays kernel also works woth memory=2048.

Using memory=65536 for the xen instance gives a surprising familiar

TEST-A# modload bpfjit
[  97.4727034] kobj_load, 444: [%M/bpfjit/bpfjit.kmod]: linker error: 
out of memory
modload: bpfjit: Cannot allocate memory
TEST-A#

So it seems to be linked to available memory.

The more you have the less you get for modload.
