Try to stabilize ZFS with regard to memory consumption:
- Allow to shrink ARC down to 16MB (instead of 64MB).
- Set arc_max to 1/2 of kmem_map by default.
- Start freeing things earlier when low memory situation is detected.
- Serialize execution of arc_lowmem().

I decided to setup minimum ZFS memory requirements to 512MB of RAM and 256MB of
kmem_map size. If there is less RAM or kmem_map, a warning will be printed.
World is cruel, be no better. In other words: modern file system requires
modern hardware:)

From ZFS administration guide:

"Currently the minimum amount of memory recommended to install a Solaris
 system is 512 Mbytes. However, for good ZFS performance, at least one
 Gbyte or more of memory is recommended."
