given that i'm determined to nail down how linux MM works, i'm
perusing the code and some docs from the beginning and, since a lot of
those docs annoyingly disagree with each other in some fundamental
places, i'm going to be asking some annoyingly trivial questions.  get
used to it.  :-)

  to start, the standard definition of high memory on a 32-bit x86
system is memory above 896M.

  * where is that exact boundary defined?

  * can it be changed at kernel config time?
