NAK. We can try to make the estimate of available VRAM more accurate. 
But in the end, this comes down to limitations of the VRAM manager and how it handles memory fragmentation.

A large discrepancy between total VRAM and available VRAM can have a few
reasons:

  * Big system memory means we need to reserve more space for page tables
  * Many small allocations causing lots of fragmentation. This may be
    the result of memory leaks in previous tests

This patch can "fix" a situation where a leak caused excessive fragmentation. But that just papers over the leak. And it will cause the opposite problem for the new AvailableMemory test that checks that we can really allocate as much memory as we promised.

Regards,
   Felix
