the midway driver.. has the folowing comment.
855: #ifdef NBURST
856: /* be careful. kernel stack is only 8K */
857: u_int8_t buffer[BOUNDARY * 2 + 64 * (NBURSTS + ....
well, that may have been true on NetBSD where this came from, but not in
FreeBSD.. Sure Upages is 2 but the U-area in it takes up 4.5 KB
leaving 3.5KB for the stack..
No matter, this is still probably not a good idea, even with 8K.
(they are allocating 2.3KB here.)
