>Description:
	In sys/kern/sys_pipe.c there is a refer to tuning(7):
		printf("kern.ipc.maxpipekva exceeded; see tuning(7)\n");
	But in share/man/man7/tuning.7 there is no information about this sysctl MIB.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	- Remove reference to tuning(7) from sys_pipe.c
	or
	- Add a paragraph about kern.ipc.maxpipekva to tuning.7. I found some information
	  about this sysctl MIB in the comments of sys_pipe.c, but I'm not sure if this is
	  usefull:

	 * kern.ipc.maxpipekva - This is a hard limit on the amount of pageable
	 * address space available to us in pipe_map. This value is normally
	 * autotuned, but may also be loader tuned.
	 *
	 * kern.ipc.pipekva - This read-only sysctl tracks the current amount of
	 * memory in use by pipes.
	 *
	 * Based on how large pipekva is relative to maxpipekva, the following
	 * will happen:
	 *
	 * 0% - 50%:
	 *     New pipes are given 16K of memory backing, pipes may dynamically
	 *     grow to as large as 64K where needed.
	 * 50% - 75%:
	 *     New pipes are given 4K (or PAGE_SIZE) of memory backing,
	 *     existing pipes may NOT grow.
	 * 75% - 100%:
	 *     New pipes are given 4K (or PAGE_SIZE) of memory backing,
	 *     existing pipes will be shrunk down to 4K whenever possible.
