So AFAIU, we have two address spaces - the full one - which has *everything*
mapped in and the limited one, with things removed from it. Right?

So calling the unrestricted "the full address space" makes sense to me. I.e.,
it has *everything* in it.

And then there's the subset of the full address space which has holes in it.
Looking at Merriam Webster, it suggests those antonyms to "complete":

partial, incomplete, reduced, abbreviated, diminished.

Yahaa, they all make sense.

"partial address space" sounds good to me. "Reduced" even better. So having
the full and the reduced address space would make the nomenclature very easy,
IMO. 

Thoughts?
