17/* Physical memory layout. Design decisions made for the earliest PCs, caused
18 * memory to be broken broken into the following four basic pieces:
19 * - Conventional or base memory: first 640 KB (incl. BIOS data, see below);
20 * The top of conventional memory is often used by the BIOS to store data.
21 * - Upper Memory Area (UMA): upper 384 KB of the first megabyte of memory;
22 * - High Memory Area (HMA): ~ first 64 KB of the second megabyte of memory;
23 * - Extended Memory: all the memory above first megabyte of memory.
24 * The high memory area overlaps with the first 64 KB of extended memory, but
25 * is different from the rest of extended memory because it can be accessed
26 * when the processor is in real mode.
