There are several limits.
- 1/4 of physical memory
- 1/4 of kernel memory for architectures that require it for mbufs
- architecture specific kernel option NMBCLUSTERS_MAX (16384 for i386)
- kernel option NMBCLUSTERS
I'm not sure if NMBCLUSTERS_MAX is still correct for i386 but the
rationale is that kernel address space is limited.
