Hm, looks like I've just given a bad advice.
It seems that auto-tuned arc_max is based on kmem size.
So if you use kmem size that is larger than available physical memory, then you
better limit arc_max to the available memory minus 1GB or so, if the autotuned
value is larger than that.
I think this needs to be fixed in the code.
