>Description:
PQ_LARGECACHE and PQ_HUGECACHE do not provide enough range, for instance
my FIC PA-2013 motherboard has 2M of L2 cache.  Editing vm_page.h with
each OS upgrade seems like a maintenance problem that more easily could
be handled by a redesign of this option.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I would like to be able to specify the L2 page size as a value directly
in the system configuration file, e.g. PQ_L2_SIZE=512.
