Author VM maxentries and vpagemax in 5.1B

Hi, I'm using a software system that requires these two vm kernel parameters
to be tuned: maxentries (1024) and vpagemax (65536).

Unfortunately these kernel parameters seem to have been depreciated.

After doing some researching, I assumed that enabling 'vm_bigpg_enable' which
seems to meet the requirement for vpagemax would do what I needed to do.

When I start up the application, the error I get is:

Unable to allocate trace buffer
Out of Memory

The virtual memory subsystem underwent significant changes from V4 ot
V5, and these two parameters don't exist (nor is there any equivalent).
Just ignore them and don't worry about it.

I would also suggest returning to the unenabled state for big pages,
unless your application specifically requires them to be enabled.
