Christian,

I'd like to include a small patch for our archivers/xz.

It limits the defaul limit of the maximum availavle memory from 1/4 of RAM
to an actual RLIMIT_DATA, if it smaller.

Without this patch I can't unpack any of chromium on a machine with 256Gb
RAM when I run a make build MAKE_JOBS=64. It fails as:

xz: (stdin): Cannot allocate memory
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached


Ok?
