1) If that reserved memory is required for PCI devices, why don't have 32bit systems that problem? On all my systems with 2GB RAM and video cards with 256MB video ram, there is the full 2GB available running linux. Why do only the 64bit systems need this explicit reservation between 3.5 and 4GB?
With 2GB RAM there is enough enough unused space in the 4GB area to place the memory hole without conflicts. -Andi
