Increase vmalloc size on kernel >=2.4.27

Hi all...

is there a way to reserve more than 128MB of virtual memory on a i386
machine with kernel >=2.4.27 and 1GB of RAM ?

looking in page.h I've found a

#define VMALLOC_RESERVE (128<<20)

but changing it to

#define VMALLOC_RESERVE (256<<20)

does not solve my problem.

thanks a lot for your time,

Paolo
