Let's just call this V8_MAX_SEMISPACE_SIZE. I would keep the section above
unchanged and just have a reassignment to Heap::max_semispace_size_ here.

I take this part back. You can't since this is an initialization. :)

+int Heap::max_semispace_size_ = PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_MAX_SEMISPACE_SIZE;
+#else
+int Heap::max_semispace_size_ = default_max_semispace_size;
+#endif

 // The snapshot semispace size will be the default semispace size if
 // snapshotting is used and will be the requested semispace size as
 // set up by ConfigureHeap otherwise.
