I for sure have an upper bound of it anyway because the kernel vm
area may be very limited in size, so the only question is if the
buffers must fight with other users of the same map.

Is the uarea the only other frequent user of the kernel_map today?
In that case it may not be a big problem, but it still is lurking
around down there.
