I thought about removing this reference but then decided that better
to add a couple of words to tuning(7) man page (and didn't add).

kern/sys_pipe.c:

 * In order to limit the resource use of pipes, two sysctls exist:
 *
 * kern.ipc.maxpipekva - This is a hard limit on the amount of pageable
 * address space available to us in pipe_map. This value is normally
 * autotuned, but may also be loader tuned.
 *
 * kern.ipc.pipekva - This read-only sysctl tracks the current amount of
 * memory in use by pipes.
