Alpine Linux is awesome, thanks so much to all the contributors.

This morning when I upgraded our Alpine Linux 1.7.27 firewall with
kernel 2.6.25-hardened-r10 to Alpine Linux 1.8.3 with kernel
2.6.26-vsgrsec I was unable to start shorewall; it complained like:

iptables: Memory allocation problem

Fortunately I was able to reboot into the upgraded system with the
older 2.6.25-hardened-r10 kernel and get the firewall working (well,
after some racoon.conf edits, but I digress).

How do I allow iptables to use more memory on the 2.6.26-vsgrsec kernel?
The server is not low on physical memory (it has 2 GB installed).  I
have a similar system with the same Alpine Linux 1.8.3 running the same
2.6.26-vsgrsec kernel and the same custom shorewall-4.2.10 packages but
a much simpler shorewall rule set, which starts up fine.
