This one I don't understand yet. I assume that memory is discontinues
on mips as well? Then the size of kcore does not equate to memory size
(unless you really have 6144 MB). I don't understand (yet) why, but
-2048 = (6442450944-2^32)/1024/1024
so on first glance some signed/unsigned issue (or endian?) seems more
likely. The memory reported is fine on all other mips machines of
yours? If yes, how do they differ (word size, endianess, ...)?
Brute force would be to stop trusting /proc/kcore but first I'll try
to understand the reasoning - suggestions welcome.
