Some folks find 128KB of env+arg space too little. Solaris provides them with
1MB. Manually changing MAX_ARG_PAGES worked for them so far, however they
would like to run the supported vendor kernel.

then this patch should go to the vendors maybe ;)

In the interrest of not penalizing everybody with the overhead of just
setting it larger, provide a sysctl to change it.



why not go all the way and make it truely dynamic ?
