Which version do you use? I see the following in my /sys/kern/kern_malloc.c:
vm_kmem_size = VM_KMEM_SIZE + nmbclusters * PAGE_SIZE;
....
/*
* Limit kmem virtual size to twice the physical memory.
* This allows for kmem map sparseness, but limits the size
* to something sane. Be careful to not overflow the 32bit
* ints while doing the check.
*/
if (((vm_kmem_size / 2) / PAGE_SIZE) > cnt.v_page_count)
vm_kmem_size = 2 * cnt.v_page_count * PAGE_SIZE;
It's 5.4-p2
