    This patch actually doesn't work, as is uses nr_free_buffer_pages() before the
    zonelists are set up. So min_free_kbytes is always set to 128.

    The attached fix works here without a problem, but I'm not sure it doesn't
    break anything...

    P.S.: 1. I've got a ported memsetup-fix from the 2.4 tree, if you want I could
    send it to you.
    2. Should we consider replacing the bogus int_sqrt() with the fb_sqrt()
    version? (btw. it is always exact) We could place it somewhere central, so it
    can be used from any place...
