Hi

Thank you very much for this very good explanation.

I agree. Making the preservation configurable makes the memory 
reservations more transparent, i.e. everything that requires memory is 
visible in init's configuration - well, at least if init is used in a 
static way. Or are there still other memory 'pools' one might not be 
aware of?

Great, I like the idea of having both, reserved/soft and a maximum/hard 
quota.

One last question: how do I calculate the required memory preservation 
for init on nova_x86_64, based on the number of children?

Thanks,
Roman
