FWIW, I'm going to add a init_param3 function in subr_param which will be
used to auto-scale values which should scale to the size of the kernel
map, not the size of physical ram.  Pipes will be sized in there, and I
may move over some of the other autosizing values as well.  That should
improve the autosizing situation quite a bit.
