[PATCH] Restore MSGPOOL original value

[Nadia . Derbey]

Hi,

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/), I have changed the
MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size in
bytes).

But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the ABI.
So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes.
Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

This patch applies to 2.6.26-rc2-mm1.
