maxdmap can be computed as a function of DMMIN, DMMAX, and NDMAP.
`dmap's are swap allocation chunks.  Swap space is allocated in
contiguous chunks of varying sizes, increasing by powers of two
from DMMIN to DMMAX, then repeating at DMMAX.  Your DMMIN is 32,
your DMMAX is 1024, and your NDMAP is 16:

	maxdmap = 32+64+128+256+512+11*1024 = 12256

which is 12256*512 = 6275072 bytes of data space.

The way to alter this limit is to change any of those parameters.
Making DMMIN 64 will cause more fragmentation, but will give you
a maxdmap of 13248; making DMMAX 2048 instead will change it to
22496, or 11517952 bytes.
