Hm, that automatic calculation seems strange. Is there any particular
reason why you haven chosen this? This will use vm_block_size=11 for
4096 MB VM space. I have used vm_block_size=12 with good results. This
manages 16 MB of VM space per page table, which seems reasonable. I also
see a noticeable CPU overhead reduction between 11 and 12.
