+/* About pages_avail, this is the value we will use to calculate
+ * the zholes_size[] argument given to free_area_init_node().  The
+ * page allocator uses this to calculate nr_kernel_pages,
+ * nr_all_pages and zone->present_pages.  On NUMA it is used
+ * to calculate zone->min_unmapped_pages and zone->min_slab_pages.
+ *
+ * So this number should really be set to what the page allocator
+ * actually ends up with.  This means:
+ * 1) It should include bootmem map pages, we'll release those.
+ * 2) It should not include the kernel image, except for the
+ *    __init sections which we will also release.
+ * 3) It should include the initrd image, since we'll release
+ *    that too.
