[PATCH] mm/vmpressure: scale window size based on machine memory

[PATCH] mm/vmpressure: scale window size based on machine memory

[Benjamin Lee McQueen]

vmpressure's window size was fixed at 512 pages regardless of machine size.

This fix, from a TODO scales the window size based on RAM size of the machine.
The method of scaling is similar to vmstat's scaling but based on RAM alone.
