     If Xorg(1) acceleration fails to initialize with a ``contigmalloc_map:
     failed size...'' error in dmesg, the reserve of memory for DMA ran out
     early and should be increased to a sufficiently high value by setting
the
     vm.dma_reserved loader tunable.  A read only sysctl(8) variable of the
     same name is provided for obtaining its current value.
