Done.

We disable the compiler generated locks around function local statics. This is
racy. You should use LazyInstance to fix the race.

Done.

I'm not sure SysInfo::AmountOfPhysicalMemory() works in the renderer / in the
sandbox.

[ostap, 2014/01/20 08:12:24]

Should work.
At least initializeV8Common() in WebKit/Source/bindings/v8/V8Initializer.cpp
calls blink::Platform::current()->physicalMemoryMB() which calls
SysInfo::AmountOfPhysicalMemoryMB() .
