As stands 12.x has picked up Justin's change . . .

stable/12 picked up the -r334498 from head:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/12/sys/powerpc/include/vmparam.h?view=log

shows:

Revision 334498 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs] 
Modified Fri Jun 1 21:37:20 2018 UTC (5 months, 2 weeks ago) by jhibbits 
Original Path: head/sys/powerpc/include/vmparam.h 
File length: 7514 byte(s) 
Diff to previous 331900
Increase powerpc64 KVA from ~7.25GB to 32GB

This will let us use much more KVA for ZFS ARC where needed.  This may be
incresed in the future if memory requirements increase.

Discussed with:	nwhitehorn


In turn the releng sequence later picked up the above as well:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/12.0/sys/powerpc/include/vmparam.h?view=log

shows:

- Copy stable/12@r340462
 to releng/12.0 as part of the 12.0-RELEASE
  cycle.
- Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch.
- Update from BETA4 to RC1.
