You probably have a shared video device buffer.
If you look at dmesg output, you can kind of puzzle out how the BIOS
maps memory. Here's from one

I have a new HP hdx laptop with a Core Duo T8100 processor and 4 GB of
RAM.

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26.3-14.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Sep 3 03:40:05

Even though I have 4GB of RAM installed, Linux appears to only be using
3GB of it.

You're complicating this way more than it needs to be. Try either the PAE
kernel, or Fedora x86_64.

Questions:
a) On machines that do not allow PCI remapping, is the processor
physically disallowed from accessing that 4GB of RAM ? Ie have the
address lines from the processor been disconnected from that RAM
