I bet this is probably due to the recent change to the way small memory 
allocations are accounted for.  Nothing has actually changed in memory
usage, it's just that it's being counted much more accurately now.

I had forgotten that there was such a low limit on the KMEM_MAP size on
amd64.  I think it should probably be raised significantly for the
release (assuming that doing so doesn't screw up auto-sizing other
maps).
