Hi,
Is it meant, that the VMSPLIT_* options are only enabled
"if EMBEDDED"?
See line 470 of arch/i386/Kconfig
This is with 2.6.17-rc6-git4
Cheers
Andrew

Indeed. Unfortunately, adjusting VMSPLIT appeared to break the assumptions
of some programs like Valgrind (and hence caused a regression for some
users). VMSPLIT was thusly "hidden" under CONFIG_EMBEDDED such that the only
people who would be inclined to mess with the setting were people already tinkering
with "low-level" settings if you will.
