[PATCH] uml: allow finer tuning for host VMSPLIT setting
Now that various memory splits are enabled, add a config option allowing the
user to compile UML for its need - HOST_2G_2G allowed to choose either 3G/1G
or 2G/2G, and enabling it reduced the usable virtual memory.
Detecting this at run time should be implemented in the future, but we must
make the stop-gap measure work well enough (this is valid in _many_ cases).

+ ---help---
+ This is needed when the host kernel on which you run has a non-default
+ (like 2G/2G) memory split, instead of the customary 3G/1G. If you did
+ not recompile your own kernel but use the default distro's one, you can
+ safely accept the "Default split" option.
- Note that to enable such a host
- configuration, which makes sense only in some cases, you need special
- host patches.
+ It can be enabled on recent (>=2.6.16-rc2) vanilla kernels via
+ CONFIG_VM_SPLIT_*, or on previous kernels with special patches (-ck
+ patchset by Con Kolivas, or other ones) - option names match closely the
+ host CONFIG_VM_SPLIT_* ones.
- So, if you do not know what to do here, say 'N'.
+ A lower setting (where 1G/3G is lowest and 3G/1G is higher) will
+ tolerate even more "normal" host kernels, but an higher setting will be
+ stricter.
+
+ So, if you do not know what to do here, say 'Default split'.
