x86物理内存布局

the figure  shows the lowest megabytes of physical RAM memory in which the various parts of the kernel image reside.

The figure shows the first megabytes of physical memory—how much is exactly required depends on how big the kernel binary is. The first 4,096 KiB—the first page frame—are omitted because they are often reservedfor theBIOS. Thenext640 KiB wouldbeusablein principle, but areagain notusedfor kernel loading. The reason is that this area is immediately followed by an area reserved for the system into which various ROM ranges are mapped (typically the system BIOS and the graphic card ROM). It is not possible to write to these areas. However, the kernel should always be loaded into a contiguous memory range, and this would be possibl
