Subject: [PATCH] use total_highpages when calculating lowmem-only
allocation sizes
For those (large) table allocations that come only from lowmem, the
total amount of memory shouldn't really matter.
vfs_caches_init() should really also be called with a lowmem-only
value, but since it does arithmetic involving nr_free_pages() and there
is no nr_free_high_pages(), it's not clear how to make this work.
