Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso c21be1c9c1 [PATCH] uml: allow finer tuning for host VMSPLIT setting
Now that various memory splits are enabled, add a config option allowing the
user to compile UML for its need - HOST_2G_2G allowed to choose either 3G/1G
or 2G/2G, and enabling it reduced the usable virtual memory.

Detecting this at run time should be implemented in the future, but we must
make the stop-gap measure work well enough (this is valid in _many_ cases).

prompt "Host memory split"
default HOST_VMSPLIT_3G
---help---
This is needed when the host kernel on which you run has a non-default
(like 2G/2G) memory split, instead of the customary 3G/1G. If you did
not recompile your own kernel but use the default distro's one, you can
safely accept the "Default split" option.
It can be enabled on recent (>=2.6.16-rc2) vanilla kernels via
CONFIG_VM_SPLIT_*, or on previous kernels with special patches (-ck
patchset by Con Kolivas, or other ones) - option names match closely the
host CONFIG_VM_SPLIT_* ones.
A lower setting (where 1G/3G is lowest and 3G/1G is higher) will
tolerate even more "normal" host kernels, but an higher setting will be
stricter.
So, if you do not know what to do here, say 'Default split'.

Three-level pagetables will let UML have more than 4G of physical
memory. All the memory that can't be mapped directly will be treated
as high memory.
However, this it experimental on 32-bit architectures, so if unsure say
N (on x86-64 it's automatically enabled, instead, as it's safe there).
