I saw these two warnings come up soon after rebooting a server (running 
5-STABLE):

kernel: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
kernel: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC

I see there is a tunable for tweaking, but I'm not certain what I'm 
really tweaking.  Any hints or guidelines?
