The only static map used today is kmem_map, mostly used by malloc but also the i386 pmap code. vmstat -m shows the biggest consumer of malloc is probably acpi and drm, which are probably doing a good job of fragmenting memory. The messsage is mostly harmless, just be thankful it's no longer a panic.
