user/mbuffer: add patch to clamp 32-bit parameters. fixes #834.
The number of physical and available pages will of course be correct on real 32-bit systems, but mbuffer does not account for the case of when a 64-bit system with more memory is running with a 32-bit personality. In this scenario, dynamic detection of system memory limits yields values that are not safe for use in a 32-bit environment.
