1) in isys.h differentiate betweet powerpc64 and sparc and everything
else. powerpc is extremely hungry.
2) decrease the limits for the remaining architectures--I have i686 and
x86_64 particularly in mind there
3) change the way the total memory is guessed. the previous method just
assumed kernel binary image is around 16 MB. This can be completely off
for the hungry archs.
