>Description:
Some comments in vmparam.h files for the following architectures
no longer reflect the state of the world today: alpah, amiga,
atari, hp300, i386, mac68k, mips, mvme68k, pc532, sparc, sun3,
vax, x68k.
>How-To-Repeat:
more src/sys/arch/*/include/vmparam.h
>Fix:
Add this code two lines above the line starting `#define SAFERSS':

* Update: memory prices have changed recently (14/9/96). At the current
* value of $6 per megabyte, we lend each swapped in process memory worth
* $0.15, or just admit that we don't consider it worthwhile and swap it out
* to disk which costs $0.20/MB, or just under half a cent.
