OK, I'll ask the stupid question: why does the Memory Manager ever
need to "scan all physical memory to find available pages"? This is
the memory *Manager*, right? As in, the guy who owns the memory? The
one who controls it, services allocation requests, and otherwise
determines who gets what where and when? If that's the case, should we
be concerned that the "Memory Manager" has no idea where its memory
has gone? Inquiring minds want to know!
