This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the pHyp dump. Currently we reserve 256MB only. With this change, the code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses that much. Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB. This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more). The aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on machines with more resources. Although the dump will be collected pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large systems during those few minutes.
