    kernel - Prune pcpu vmzone a bit
    
    * Put a cap of 16MB worth of entries in the vm_zone pcpu cache, per cpu.
      This cap is triggered on large-memory systems which would otherwise
      set too high a limit on the vmzone pcpu caches.
    
      This primarily affects pvzone, limiting the pcpu pmap pv_entry cache
      to around 200000 elements (~800MB worth of page mappings).
    
    * Reduces the amount of memory waste on a large-memory system.  For example,
      before roughly 2GB worth of unused pv_entry's could accumulate on a
      32-way system with 128GB of ram during nominal use.  Now only around 512MB
      worth of unused pv_entry's can accumulate.
    
    * Note that we do not want to set this cap too low because it is absolutely
      necessary for concurrent fork/exec/wait/exit performance.
    
    * Increase the zone_burst from the global cache to the pcpu cache from
      32 to 128 elements to further reduce unnecessary lock collisions in
      zalloc().
