Linux kernel source tree

The code was trying to keep a strict limit on the amount of mob memory that was used in the guest by making it match the host settings. There's technically no reason to do that (guests can certainly use more than the host can have resident in renderers at the same time). In particular this is problematic because our userspace is not great at handling OOM conditions and running out of MOB space results in GL apps crashing, e.g. gnome-shell likes to allocate huge surfaces (~61MB for the desktop on 2560x1600 with two workspaces) and running out of memory there means that the gnome-shell crashes on startup taking us back to the login and resulting in a system where one can not login in graphically anymore. Instead of letting the userspace crash we can extend available MOB space, we just don't want to use all of the RAM for graphics, so we're going to limit it to half of RAM. With the addition of some extra logging this should make the "guest has been configured with not enough graphics memory" errors a lot easier to diagnose in cases where the automatic expansion of MOB space fails.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
