1MB is the current limit, for three reasons initially, but now two
remaining reason.

Looking at vmcmd_randomize, you'll see it allocates all the pages
up front.  That is reason #1.  They are not demand-allocated (and
then filled with random).  I had some draft uvm code for years ago
but it is pretty complicated.

Reason #2 is the first version didn't yield at all, so the kernel
was consumed.  That was solved.

Reason #3 is the current yield method isn't exactly perfect.


Do we increase it?  Maybe a little.  Would love to know why a
program uses that much random.
