Log:
  amd64: reduce VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE to 1 allowing kernel to use more memory
  
  KVA space is abundant on amd64, so there is no reason to limit kernel
  map size to a fraction of available physical memory.  In fact, it could
  be larger than physical memory.
  
  This should help with memory auto-tuning for ZFS and shouldn't affect
  other workloads.
  This should reduce number of circumstances for "kmem_map too small"
  panics, but probably won't eliminate them entirely due to potential kmem
  fragmentation.
  
  In fact, you might want/need to limit maximum ARC size after this commit
  if you need to resrve more memory for applications.
  
  This change was discussed on arch@ and nobody said "don't do it".
