[PATCH v1 04/20] ARC: Set vmalloc size from configuration

From: Noam Camus <noamc at ezchip.com>

User space use lower 2G of the virtual address space.
However kernel steals upper 512M of this space.
This stolen space is used partially for vmalloc and the rest
serves as gutter between kernel and user space.
The vmalloc size is depend on NR_CPUS since "per cpu" mechanism
use vmalloc to allocate chunks for its use.

Historically vmalloc size was 256M however it is not enough in
case of many CPUs e.g. 4K CPUs. For such case an extra 192M is
allocated.
We are setting default vmalloc size to be 256M, any addtional
space will be taken from kernel/user gutter.
