> [PATCH] mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hash

I think you should just use zero as the default minimum for all
call sites except this UDP case we are trying to fix.

For example I see you used 16 for kernel/pid.c

Let's not try to do unrelated changes like that now, we can do such
tweaks later.
