you're probably already using a bunch of pages for the pv_pool at this point,
so it would only help if the lowat mark was higher than your current usage.
that would be a lot, and we probably wouldn't want to reserve so many pages
for pv entries all the time.
did you get a dump from this? if you did I'd like to look at it.
