Description

Increase the size of the page table on 64-bit PowerPC machines as a
bandaid to prevent exhaustion of the primary and secondary hash groups
in the event of extreme stress on the PMAP layer (e.g. a forkbomb). This
wastes memory, and should be revised to properly handle PTEG spills instead.
