PATCH 1/1 don't special-case 32MB machines

This one may be a bit silly, but:

All the special cases for 32MB machines probably aren't so useful anymore...

Or maybe this points to the need to bump up the scaling points & sizes a bit?

Also remove duplicate, unused XFS_MAX_RW_NBMAPS definitions in linux subdirs.

Sounds good. Any chance you could kill off xfs_physmem completely?

Hm, why out of curiosity? Because you think xfs should never be looking at system memory, or because you don't like the name, or ...?
