[PATCH] uml: allow finer tuning for host VMSPLIT setting

Browse Source 
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).

This is needed when the host on which you run has a 2G/2G memory
split, instead of the customary 3G/1G.

---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.
Note that to enable such a host
configuration, which makes sense only in some cases, you need special
host patches.
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.
So, if you do not know what to do here, say 'N'.
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'.
