Allocation guarantee commitment level
<math>
\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{all\ VE}
{RAM\ size + swap\ size}
</math>
is the ratio of the memory space guaranteed to be available for
allocations to the capacity of the system.
If a system has multiple Virtual Environments,
it is important to make sure that for each Virtual Environment
<math>privvmpages_{lim}\cdot4096 \le 0.6\cdot {RAM\ size}\rm.</math>
If this condition is not satisfied, a single Virtual Environment may easily
cause an excessive swap-out and very bad performance of the whole system.
