I'm actually upgrading one of my test box from 4_4 to 4_5, and I
stumbled on this :

# Tune the kernel malloc area parameters.  VM_KMEM_SIZE represents the 
# minimum, in bytes, and is typically (12*1024*1024) (12MB). 
# VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX represents the maximum, typically 200 megabytes.
# VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE can be set to adjust the auto-tuning factor, which
# typically defaults to 4 (kernel malloc area size is physical memory 
# divided by the scale factor).
#
options        VM_KMEM_SIZE="(10*1024*1024)"
options        VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX="(100*1024*1024)"
options        VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE="4"

the comment says that VM_KMEM_SIZE is set to 12MB but it's set to 10,
and that _MAX is set to 200 but it's set to 100...
I heard once that if the comment and the code differed, they were both
wrong :)
so, what should be the default values ?
