Yinghai is hard at work fixing long-time crappiness of the x86 memory 
setup code on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 alike. Contrary to your suggestion 
he has not been "ignoring small systems" in any way - he has done the 
exact opposite: Yinghai has fixed a ton of small-system bugs and 
usability annoyances along the way.

Your attempt trying to cast this much-needed cleanup, fixing and 
robustization effort into a negative light is as pityful as it is wrong.
