Bug#656910: replace memlock limited using a script to determine RAM size at each boot

This is again not a subject for this bug, but could perhaps be a small 
addition to the jack-common package?

There has been some concern whether using memlock unlimited is safe, but 
in order to know what to set it to, for instance 95% of the memory size, 
you would first need to check the memory size, and then replace the 
value in the .conf file.
I don't know where such a script could live, but I assume somewhere in 
the early boot process.

Even just doing it once is probably not a good idea, since people add 
and remove memory now and again. Don't what implications there would be 
if the memory size is smaller than what is written in the conf file.
