Do this to calculate the max number of PF states you can allocate (on
top of what have already been allocated)
$ cd /sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
$ env DEBUG=-g make clean all
$ su
# gdb bsd.db
(gdb) target kcore /dev/mem
(gdb) p kmem_map->header.end - kmem_map->header.start - kmem_map->size
^ that will print the kmem_map memory you have left
(gdb) p pf_state_pl.pr_itemsperpage
^ that prints the number of states you can alloc per page
(gdb) p pool_allocator_kmem->pa_pagesz
^ and that is your machine's page size
(gdb) p ($1 / $3) * $2
^ and that is how many states you have memory left for if you used
everything for PF states.

the rest of vmstat -m is more useful
