Thanks to all who've replied. It seems kind of disgusting that a modern
video card can grab 1/4 of the available physical address space on i386,
but I suppose that pretty much everyone with such a card is running
amd64 instead.

Is there really supposed to be this much reserved space

i386 port has access to 32-bit (4 GB) address space but only allows you to use
up to 3 GB of RAM at most, the last 1 GB of address space is used for
addressing devices, and as others are saying here, video card shared mem also
eats up space 4 GB
openbsd didn't bother with PAE on i386, it's too
