On 3.3-STABLE the following kernel message appeared recently:

   pmap_collect: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC

Is there a place I can get more specific information as to what this
means, so I can perhaps embark on the road to a correct solution
and/or interpretation of what happened? Alternatively, can someone
explain? 

On a related note, I took a look at the code and saw the following
disturbing thing:

void
pmap_collect() {
...
        static int warningdone=0;
...
        if (warningdone < 5) {
                printf("pmap_collect: collecting pv entries -- suggest 
increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC\n");
                warningdone++;
        }

The machine in question has 57 days of uptime. This code appears to
imply that I only get to see this 5 times during this period. :)

Was this intentional?
