Leave the constant. The 4096 is only used for debugging and is a boundary
at which redzoning and last user accounting is given up.

A large object in terms of this patch is a object greater than 4096 bytes
not an object greater than PAGE_SIZE. I think the absolute size is
desired.

Would you CC manfred on all your patches?
