Wouldn't it be easier to just clamp the value no matter what? i.e.
leave the current code alone, and add a clamp helper function + use
it? These are pretty rare env vars to set... presumably the person
setting them knows what they're doing. And if not, they get what they
deserve.

On a related topic, I'd personally rather not throw in arbitrary
restrictions to code like this -- it makes debugging harder later on.
(e.g. what's wrong with 0 percent? let's say i want to disable
gart/vram entirely?)
