Here's your problem -- kmem_size is for some reason only 2G.
Argh! I ran into that before. The code in sys/kern/kern_malloc.c
intentionally limits kmem_size to twice the physical memory size:
/*
* Limit kmem virtual size to twice the physical memory.
* This allows for kmem map sparseness, but limits the size
* to something sane. Be careful to not overflow the 32bit
* ints while doing the check.
*/
if (((vm_kmem_size / 2) / PAGE_SIZE) > cnt.v_page_count)
vm_kmem_size = 2 * cnt.v_page_count * PAGE_SIZE;
So, either comment out these lines or just set vm.kmem_size to
slightly below 8G.
