This can be observed on HD5450 machine, not on Atom N455 netbook.

>How-To-Repeat:
- boot NetBSD/i386 9.0 on HD5450
- start Xorg (with a patch in PR/54782)
- see kmem-96 usage by 'vmstat -m 1 | grep kmem-96' etc.
- perform scrolls (cat large logs, build.sh etc.) on pseudo terminals
  (xterm, kterm, or mlterm etc.)
