    [PATCH] scale the initial value of min_free_kbytes · 4d1ba80c

    This tunable refers to the amount of free memory which the VM will attempt to
    sustain.  It is mainly needed for atomic allocations (eg, networking
    receive).
    
    It is currently hardwired to 1024k, which is far too large for small machines
    and too small for large machines.
    
    Rework it to be 128k on tiny machines and 16M on huge machines.
