to sum it all up - we're back to the days of himem.sys and emm386.sys on
good old MSDOS, except that 896MB replaces the old 640KB on msdos (which
himem.sys lifted to a 1MB limit), and 'ZONE_HIGHMEM' comes instead of the
memory swapping performed by EMM386.sys .

now, who was the linux geek that said "well, 1GB of memory should be
enough for anyone" ? :)
