This PR is about 2 seperate issues really:
1- hw.chipset.memory
as said previously this value is about address space,
the value reported seems to be correct for Tsunami alpha's
( confirmed on ds10 ). An 164SX seems to have about half the space.
2- The vm space reported
This seemlingly is caused by xfree doing large mmaps of video memory.
I have never seen these kind of values.
I would propose opening a new pr for xfree/vmspace if this proplem
still exists in CURRENT.
