This patch makes some improvements to the section of the documentation
that describes the Linux 2.4 memory overcommit behavior.

I removed the almost content-free assertion that "You will need enough
swap space to cover your memory needs." If this is intended to
communicate anything meaningful, can someone rephrase it, please?

This patch also includes a fix for a typo noticed by Robert Treat.

Is this suitable for 7.4 (either the whole patch, or just the typo
fix)?

-Neil
