I Thought HSA was shared between all LPAR's and taken out of Maint storage of LPAR 1 only.

If you're really talking about a 12 MB LPAR, then I suspect that HSA takes off a few bytes at the top and Linux then rounds memory size down to multiple of 4M. The memory that you see reported in 'free' is without the kernel, static data areas and the table that describes memory (this is why that 'overhead' increases with memory size). In my 128 MB virtual machine Linux hides some 7 MB, and in a 64 MB machine slightly more than 4 MB.
