I was only 3MB off wrt. mainline's 64GB LowTotal, not bad at all:
HighTotal: 65134592 kB HighFree: 65116864 kB LowTotal: 176076 kB LowFree: 144180 kB
Turns out NR_CPUS > BITS_PER_LONG was avoided. I'll dig up whatever else I can here. AIM7 with 10000 tasks and various other things were runnable on 48GB, but I still need to straighten various fragmentation things out before benching produces meaningful numbers instead of runs vs. doesn't.
