    kernel - Increase size of the vm_page hash table
    
    * Increase the size of the vm_page hash table used to shortcut
      page lookups during a fault.  Improves the hit rate on machines
      with large amounts of memory.
    
    * Adjust the ticks overflow test from < 0 to < -1 in to avoid
      getting tripped up by SMP races on the global 'ticks' variable
      (which is not accessed atomically).  One cpu can conceivably
      update a hash ticks value while another cpu is doing a calculation
      based on a stale copy of ticks.
    
      Avoids premature vm_page_hash cache evictions due to this race.
