[amd64] The FreeBSD kernel virtual address space has been increased to 6GB. This allows subsystems to use larger virtual memory space than before. For example, zfs(8) adaptive replacement cache (ARC) requires large kernel memory space to cache file system data, so it benefits from the increased address space. Note that the ceiling on the kernel map size is now 60% of the size rather than an absolute quantity. Various network interface drivers have been improved, including ae(4), ath_hal(4), axe(4), bce(4), cxgb(4), fxp(4), igb(4), jme(4), msk(4), mxge(4), nfe(4), re(4), rl(4), sis(4), and txp(4). Very specifically that I was getting watchdog time outs and link status up down up on the re nic driver, hopefully 7.2 solves this. Regards G
