In the perfect world, it wouldn't matter how much memory was preallocated because most of it was always going to be private anonymous zero-page mappings for the duration of the program. However, in practice, due to peculiarities of FreeBSD, we need to additionally limit memory allocation there. This patch moves the segment preallocation to EAL private functions that will be implemented by an OS-specific EAL rather than being in the common memory-related code. Since there is no support for growing/shrinking memory use at runtime on FreeBSD anyway, this does not inhibit any functionality but makes core dumps faster even on default settings.
