New Revision: 195632
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/195632

Log:
  Increase the size of the page table on 64-bit PowerPC machines as a
  bandaid to prevent exhaustion of the primary and secondary hash groups
  in the event of extreme stress on the PMAP layer (e.g. a forkbomb). This
  wastes memory, and should be revised to properly handle PTEG spills instead.
