[PATCH] overcommit: use totalreserve_pages for nommu
This patch is an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/nommu.c. When the OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm calculates the number of free pages, the algorithm subtracts the number of reserved pages from the result nr_free_pages().
