	Is it possible to make the tuning of nmbclusters available after
the kenrel is loaded. So that you don't have to reboot a server to get
loader's changes to take effect?

	So one could go as high as.. 512? 1024? There has to still be
drawbacks at some number where your wasting resources that you dont need
just to get more mbuf's. I think that is why they are saying dont just
jack up MAXUSERS. Use the NMBCLUSTERS=XXXX instead. Because that is
usually the variable you want increased not the other parameters MAXUSERS
increases.
