Log:
  Reduce kmem_arena maximum size for Armada38x
  
  VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX allows to limit kmem arena size. In our case this was
  necessary, as decreasing size of kmem_arena leaves more space for
  kernel_arena.
  
  kernel_arena is pool used for contigmalloc (in effect, DMA) allocations,
  which failed on Armada38x. This resulted in 'no memory errors'
  (e.g. USB_ERR_NOMEM errors) and failure of whole system. The need for
  greater size of kernel_arena probably comes from more peripherals making
  use of busdma.
  
  Value used as upper limit is half of the default value
  (0x1399a000).
