[PATCH] Sanely size hash tables when using large base pages
At the moment the inode/dentry cache hash tables (common by way of
alloc_large_system_hash()) are incorrectly sized by their respective
detection logic when we attempt to use large base pages on systems with
little memory.
This results in odd behaviour when using a 64kB PAGE_SIZE, such as:
Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: -1, 32768 bytes)
Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: -2, 16384 bytes)
The mount cache hash table is seemingly the only one that gets this right
by directly taking PAGE_SIZE in to account.
The following patch attempts to catch the bogus values and round it up to
at least 0-order.
