OK, so there is a limit which is too low somewhere.
Now to find which one.
I suspect it's the kmem_map which is too small pmap_alloc_pvpage() does
a call to uvm_km_kmemalloc() from kmem_map. Maybe try to increase
NKMEMCLUSTERS, but it's just a guess. By default it's 6 * 1024 * 1024 / CLBYTES
A vm guru can probably say more about this.
