[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] lib: Conservatively include residue buffers in the available ram estimate

[Chris Wilson]

Add any buffers reported by sysinfo to the estimate of available memory.
We do ask the kernel to purge it's caches before reporting sysinfo, but
a few remain that may be forced out by our test usage, so include them.
However, be conservative and only allow them to be swapped out.
