From 67e2961733ec31391f2689ad54afbd35caa43417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Deegan Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 11:44:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [XEND] Be more generous with the default shadow allocation. Allow enough shadow memory to avoid thrashing the shadow pages, rather than just enough for safety.
