Low memory on 32bit systems is still 2Gb! And if it's not enough for some structures on 32Gb system then obviously something is wrong: 10% for book-keeping is too much IMO (cache misses and all). So this patch is sane. True, only huge 32bit systems make it 2.6 and not 2.7 material but patch itself is sane - it's good for huge 64bit systems as well (not sure about small systems), just not essential there.
