Subject: [PATCH] Try reserving less ram...
In 005a0aaaad2a00a1fa1e60d94cc4fd5407c22e7d, we switched from reserving
one quarter of the available free memory to three quarters. Apparently
this has some unfortunate side-affects for some workloads, and has
negatively effected chainloading[0] as well as Fedora CoreOS[1].
This patch changes it to reserve /half/ of available memory, in hopes
that this is a working compromise.
