quick linux memory question

All -

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
Oracle 11.1 and 11.2 databases
252gb main memory
Page_size = 4096 (bytes)
Shmmax = 76800000000 (bytes)
shmall = 4194304 (pages)

I am sort of referencing Doc ID 301830.1

So, shmmax is about 71.5gb and shmall is currently set to use up to 16gb of 
'SGA' space (my term).

Sanity check:  any issue with setting shmall to something like 15728640 (60gb)? 
 Still well below physical memory and somewhat below shmmax, but I have never 
set shmall that high so just curious if there any gotchas.

ADVthanksANCE,
