From: K.Y. Srinivasan <ksrinivasan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reasonable is hard to judge; we don't want to disallow small domains.
But the system needs a reasonable amount of memory to perform its
duties, set up tables, etc. If on the other hand, the admin is able
to set up and boot up correctly a very small domain, there's no point
in forcing it to be larger.
We end up with some kind of logarithmic function, approximated.
Memory changes are logged, so making domains too small should at least
result in a trace.
As usual, written and tested on 2.6.25-rc8 and 2.6.16.60 and made apply
to the 2.6.18 tree without further testing.
