New submission from Yinghai Lu <yinghailu(a)gmail.com>om>:

This one is needed for 8 way dual core with VGA support enabled.
The reason is every cpu page table will be 20k, and if there is 16 cpu will need
320k, it will push the stack and heap cross the 0xa0000, the region for vga font
buffer. TO use that need to set CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK in MB Options.lb
It also remove the hardcode 1M in clear_1m_ram.c to use CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK.
