But what's this? 23MB kernel data? ^^^^^^
Each page in the system has a "struct page", on 64-bit machines this
is around 180 bytes in size, physical memory in sparc systems is not
contiguous, so if the physical memory is spaced out from address 0 to
address 4GB I eat the space for all the "struct pages" in that area.
(We free it up later don't worry)
and besides, 23MB is peanuts on a 2GB system :-)
