 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.
