Subject: [PATCH 1/4] munmap: mem unmap operation size handling

From: Geunsik Lim <geunsik.lim@...sung.com>

The specification of H/W(cpu, memory, i/o bandwidth, etc) is different
according to their SOC. We can earn a suitable performance(or latency)
after adjust memory unmap size by selecting an optimal value to consider
specified system environment in real world.

In other words, We can get real-fast or real-time using the Linux kernel
tunable parameter choosingly for flexible memory unmap operation unit.
