Doh! And I wasn't thinking straight. In the VAX (atleast) the printouts
of the two values are actually avail_end (which is physical memory after
some small stuff have been reserved away), and uvmexp.free, which is
(probably) a fairly different number. I guess more stuff have been
allocated away

Some graphics chips, especially on lower-end machines, use main
memory, thus making it unavailable to the CPU.
It's not that simple. I've seen this for a very long time, including

Hello,
I have a question about software interrupt threads (__HAVE_FAST_SOFTINTS
case). I'm interrested in the mips implementation but I looked at x86
and didn't find what I looked for either, so my question applies to
both.
When a software interrupt is triggered, the CPU switches to
the related ke
