Re: [PATCH} ARP auto-sizing for 2.4.24 - 2.4.26-pre3

Two problems:

1) Don't do the config option thing if we're going to auto-size.

2) Your ram_mb calcs use PAGE_SIZE as a term, and therefore assume
   it has a value of 4096 or somesuch.  Please remove this assumption.

To be honest, while I'm not against making the tables a little bigger,
for ARP "WHO THE FUCK CARES" if another 100 cycles or so are burnt on
a lookup.  What setup do you have where ARP performance is a real issue?

Your original email was nice in describing the fact that ARP does not
scale, but you've made no foundation on which to erect a claim that
scalability for ARP (and thus the added complexity/changes) is even
necessary.
