This commit message is seriously lacking an explanation why? Why is it
unused, why is it ok on systems with mem < 64g, what is the problem it
solves, ...

Just ask yourself this when you write commit messages: would anyone else
be able to understand what this commit was improving when anyone reads
that commit message months, maybe years from now.

Thanks.
