Only the mb_map case was fixed ... by reclaiming map space (by draining
out the mbuf using protocols..)
The kmem_map case it a little harder ... a couple of things probably
should happen:
- reclaim kmem_map map space
- allow kmem_map to grow
...neither of which are all that easy with the current code structure,
apparently.
