I doubt it. The ceiling on the amount of pbufs only limit the
concurrency from the subsystems I enumerated. The pbuf allocations are
sleepable (usually), so there is no correctness problem from having
it sizes slightly lower then could be, and 256 parallel i/o's is good
enough still.
It might make sense to increase the pbuf KVA for arches with ample KVA,
but it would only benefit special workloads which create lot of the
concurrent i/o from the specific subsystems.
E.g., the clustering cannot create more then 16MB of clusters for write,
and with the default MAXPHYS of 128KB, this takes 64 pbufs.
