As usual, I was pretty unclear. :-) I'm interested in which address ranges are reserved for which purposes. For instance, the top GB is for the kernel, but is that range *exactly* from C0000000 to FFFFFFFF ? Also, how many pages are reserved at the bottom of the address space? Just the one? Are there any other address ranges which are reserved, and if so, then where are they, and what are they used for? If anyone can show me where to find this info I'd be appreciative. Thx.
