[PATCH ] VMSPLIT config options (with default config fixed)

[Mark Lord]

Okay, fixed the ordering of the "default" lines
so that the Kconfig actually works correctly.

Best for Andrew to soak this one in -mm.

+	  If the address range available to the kernel is less than the

+	  than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.

+	  kernel modules.
+
