Intel KMS: a memory problem

Hi people,

I'm using 9-RELENG with KMS and the last port updated on a SandyBridge 
platform (Intel Graphics)
With a quite simple openGL application, a panic occurred:

panic: pmap_mapdev: Couldn't alloc kernel virtual memory

I tried to increase vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max to 512M, but the 
problem persists.

Any easy idea or workaround?
In the meanwhile, I'll try to investigate this problem deeper.

Thanks in advance,
Luca

PS I compiled apitrace (https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace) on FreeBSD 
and it works! Ok, a couple of patch and fix to build it correctly, but 
it works. It was developed by intel as an easy way to have repeatable 
openGL test cases.
