Exactly.  All we use it for is the -E2BIG check to ensure user space
isn't allowed to run away with loads of kernel memory.

A page is fine currently (MAX_BLOB_SIZE is 512).  However, it may be
too small for some of the complex policies when they're introduced. 
I'm not bothered about what it currently is, I just want it to be able
to be increased easily when the time comes.
