 * Release ISOs and IMGs now start up with emergency interrupt polling turned on to improve the chances of being able to boot on a wider range of systems.
 * Numerous issues with NFS have been resolved.
 * Diskless NFS booting now attaches using NFSv3.
+* Much better scaling in low-memory systems (aka VMs), as little as 64M of physical memory with a recommended minimum of 128M.
+* Much better KVM efficiency on systems with large amounts of ram.  2.6 had some issues with KVM filling up on 32 bit systems.  Those issues should now be gone.  64-bit systems now run with 128G of KVM.

 * Various vkernel updates including support for diskless operation.
 * nmalloc (libc malloc) gained a per-thread magazine layer for improved scalability.
 
-> ### amd64-specific changes
+> ### x86_64-specific changes
 * A number of rare race conditions was fixed. This improves overall stability.
 * It is now possible to use powernow(4).
 * It is now possible to boot an SMP kernel without having to enable `APIC_IO`.
+* The kernel now configures 128GB of KVM and memory scaling has been tuned.  Among other things this means that a well-endowed system will cache significantly more vnodes and configure a larger buffer cache.
+* The kernel now supports up to 512G of swap by default.
 
 > ### Removals
 * BIND is no longer in the base system.  See Special Upgrade notes above for a migration path.
