This looks like its a subr_blist.c problem:

        /*
         * If we go beyond this, we get overflows in the radix
         * tree bitmap code.
         */
        mblocks = 0x40000000 / BLIST_META_RADIX;
        if (nblks > mblocks) {
                printf("WARNING: reducing size to maximum of %lu blocks per swap unit\n",
                        mblocks);
                nblks = mblocks;
        }

sys/blist.h:#define BLIST_META_RADIX 16
