Bug Description
Chrome on Android sets a limit of 128MB, whereas it's currently set to 512MB for us. DiscardableMemory is allocated by the browser process on behalf of renderers, and is used extensively in Blink for decoded image data

@Chris: can this change be backported to the stable line?
At least the part that doesn't add the extra form-factor functions, but changes the memory limits. The form factor determination could still be approximated by architecture == armhf in the foreseeable 6 weeks of lifetime for this stable release.
