As stands 12.x has picked up Justin's change . . .

stable/12 picked up the -r334498 from head:

ew=3Dlog

File length: 7514 byte(s)=20

Modified Fri Jun 1 21:37:20 2018 UTC (5 months, 2 weeks ago) by jhibbits=20=

Increase powerpc64 KVA from ~7.25GB to 32GB

This will let us use much more KVA for ZFS ARC where needed.  This may =
be
incresed in the future if memory requirements increase.

In turn the releng sequence later picked up the above as well:

  cycle.
- Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch.
