Handwaving idea - leave the size restriction in place for pstore. Remove
it for normal setvariable calls. Downside of this is that pstore will be
broken on machines that only clear space when the variable store is
mostly full, but it should avoid cases where we automatically kill
machines without also having to disable a useful feature.
