I think this is short and clear:
===
Limit the amount of kernel address space used to a fixed cap.
384 is an arbitrarily chosen value that leaves 270 MB of KVA available
of the 2 MB total. On systems with large amount of memory reduce the
the slope of the function in order to avoiding exhausting KVA.
