Improve vmem tuning for platforms without a direct map.

Description

Improve vmem tuning for platforms without a direct map.

On platforms without a direct map (i.e., platforms without
UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC defined), the boundary tag allocator reserves a
number of tags for use when allocating a new slab of boundary tags,
as such platforms require free boundary tags in order to allocate
boundary tags. r327899 increased the number of boundary tags required
for a KVA allocation in the worst case, and the aforementioned
reservation was not updated accordingly. In some cases, this could
lead to a system hang. Fix the problem by increasing this reservation.

Also reduce KVA_QUANTUM on systems lacking superpage support.
The previous import quantum (4MB with a 4KB page size) was quite large
for systems with limited KVA, and fragmentation in kernel_arena could
cause kernel memory allocation failures even with a substantial amount
of free KVA.
