Stripping or otherwise messing with the GENERIC kernel sounds like a bad idea,
but maybe you have your reasons.

Squid handling moderate load on OpenBSD/amd64 GENERIC kernel can cause
panics due to high degrees of memory fragmentation. Previously, one would
have to tweak MAX_KMAPENT to avoid this panic, but Brad recently
committed a fix for this to -current.

I haven't been able to test a snap on our Squid box yet (we're
planning to do it soonish), but 3.7 looks like it will allow us to run a proper
GENERIC kernel again.

Thanks for the work guys, OpenBSD just keeps on getting better.
