I'm pretty sure I mentioned this on current-users, but maybe I forgot.

In any case, remove the "options NKMEMCLUSTERS=..." from your kernel config
file, rerun config, and build your kernel.  The kernel now attempts to
auto-size the kmem_map based on the amount of memory your system has, but
the NKMEMPAGES option is still available if you need to override what
the system selects (which you can get with the new sysctl vm.nkmempages).
