It's kind of a weird default, but I don't have any ideas for a better one.

First, the size you want is really determined by the number of dumps you 
want to keep in your circular buffer. That's not something I want to 
guess at.

Second, at least IME, a lot of devices legitimately want this set to 0. 
They're pulling in ramoops for the persistent kernel and userspace logs.

Will fix.
