Log:
  Improve vmem tuning for platforms without a direct map.
  
  On platforms without a direct map (i.e., platforms without
  UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC defined), the boundary tag allocator reserves a
  number of tags for use when allocating a new slab of boundary tags,
  as such platforms require free boundary tags in order to allocate
  boundary tags.  r327899 increased the number of boundary tags required
  for a KVA allocation in the worst case, and the aforementioned
  reservation was not updated accordingly.  In some cases, this could
  lead to a system hang.  Fix the problem by increasing this reservation.
  
  Also reduce KVA_QUANTUM on systems lacking superpage support.
  The previous import quantum (4MB with a 4KB page size) was quite large
  for systems with limited KVA, and fragmentation in kernel_arena could
  cause kernel memory allocation failures even with a substantial amount
  of free KVA.
