The max_threads config parameter (used to determine how many tasks to
allow) is currently calculated based on the total amount of physical memory
in the machine. This is wrong, since the real limiting factor is the
amount of memory in the normal zone.
This patch fixes the initialization of max_threads by allowing an
architecture to specify how much memory is in the normal zone, and using
that value to initialize max_threads.
My apologies for sending it as an attachment, but I don't trust my mail
client not to screw up an inline patch.
