    How exactly would I go about increasing KVM? I tried bumping up 
KVA_PAGES from 256 to 260, but all that did was cause page faults 
whenever apache (or fatboy, like in this case) was started... here's the 
error from /var/log/messages

    I remember reading somewhere that NKPT should also be increased if 
you're going to fiddle with KVA_PAGES, is that true? Clearly there's 
something I'm not doing, I remember reading about people cranking 
KVA_PAGES up to 768.
