I'm pretty sure Solaris also used 4K pages for swappable memory
in the kernel, as well: 4M pages don't make much sense, since
you could, for example, exhaust KVA space with 250 kernel modules

No, for the past several months you haven't been able to installworld
a -current system under a -stable kernel. That you were ever able to
do that before that time is pure chance.
Very strange that I did it last week then, possibly a fluke?
