Replaces STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT (Kconfig, hardcoded default 4) with a boot-time computation, mirroring the pattern stadium_boot_init() already used for the cell pool. New Kconfig STADIUM_VM_MEMORY_PERCENT (default 50): max_vm_count = (kmalloc_get_stats().free_bytes after the cell array * STADIUM_VM_MEMORY_PERCENT / 100) / VM_MEMORY_SIZE, floored to 1, no ceiling (population is not knowable in advance - could be 4, could be 4000). stadium_quotas and word_slots (plus stat_promotions/stat_evictions) are now kmalloc'd to the computed count instead of declared with a macro. New accessor stadium_max_vm_count() replaces every STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT reference, including capsule_birth.c's birth-refusal gate. Two things found and fixed along the way: - The existing cell-pool budget was sourced from pmm_get_stats(), which reflects physical pages PMM hasn't handed to any subsystem yet - but the actual allocation is kmalloc(), which draws from the separate, fixed-size heap kmalloc_init() (M6) already carved out of PMM before stadium_boot_init() ever runs. Budgeting against PMM's leftover and allocating from the kmalloc heap are two different pools. Both the cell budget and the new VM-count budget now source from kmalloc_get_stats() instead. - stadium_owner[] (which VM's quota owns each cell) was uint8_t, capped at 255 slots by a compile-time assert tied to the old macro. Widened to uint16_t (65535 slots of headroom) with a runtime clamp + log if the computed count ever exceeds that, since there's no ceiling anymore. Three-arch QEMU acceptance: all clean to ok>, computed VM count genuinely differs by actual available RAM (amd64/riscv64: 50 slots at -m 1024, aarch64: 101 slots), Stadium conservation invariant identical across all three (resident_sum=43691 reservoir=21845 sum=65536). logs/20260815-080526/amd64, logs/20260815-080826/aarch64, logs/20260815-080952/riscv64.
