  Log:
      Fix null-pointer dereference crash when the system is intentionally
      run out of KVM through a mmap()/fork() bomb that allocates hundreds
      of thousands of vm_map_entry structures.
  
      Add panic to make null-pointer dereference crash a little more verbose.
  
      Add a new sysctl, vm.max_proc_mmap, which specifies the maximum number
      of mmap()'d spaces (discrete vm_map_entry's in the process).  The value
      defaults to around 9000 for a 128MB machine.  The test is scaled for the
      number of processes sharing a vmspace (aka linux threads).  Setting
      the value to 0 disables the feature.
