------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fdtable: Bound minimum allocation size.
From: Vadim Lobanov <vlobanov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch modifies the fdtable minimum allocation unit, setting it to a
fixed size of 1024 bytes instead of basing it on the architecture page
size. This leaves the algorithm heuristics unchanged for the common 4K
page size, but does rebalance the "memory wasted versus number of
reallocations" tradeoff for architectures with larger page sizes (like
64K).
