There was a problem hiding this comment.
Tested on 2 GB and 32 GB memory systems respectively. Both working as intended.

Alternative to #19711 (comment) .
I think the correct way to reduce context size for CPU-only builds is to accumulate the host buffer types and to compare those vs. total system memory. This PR is currently only partially tested (and thus a draft) because I don't have a convenient combination of model and system memory sizes ready.
