Comment:

 ATM the kernel (actually the boot loader already) ignores all memory below
 1 MB, as well as very short discontiguous ranges of memory, and memory
 used by ACPI. It could be argued that those are indeed not available to
 Haiku. It would be possible to sum up those ignored ranges in the boot
 loader, pass them to the kernel, and just add them for reporting purposes
 (probably to both available and used memory).
