I was thinking something along an array of memory descriptor structs, listing - - Base - Length - Type (Conventional memory, Kernel + Modules, GRUB structures like the MBI - Attributes (read protected, write protected, cacheability attributes) The advantages over the old mmap_ entries being that the kernel has a clear idea of what is available memory, what is memory used by the bootloader (and its structures like the MBI), and what memory is used by everything associated with the loaded kernel (which includes modules, additional ELF sections and the section headers loaded).
