Subject: [PATCH 67/91] offb: Fix bug in calculating requested vram size

2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit c055fe0797b7bd8f6f21a13598a55a16d5c13ae7 upstream.

We used to try to request 8 times more vram than needed, which would
fail if the card has a too small BAR (observed with qemu & kvm).
