Greetings,
Sorta Like when my machine w/ 4 MEG of ram and 120 MEG HD seemed imposible to ever fill up :-) These days, 32 bits is too cramped for some single processes.
G'day, sjames

My understanding is that it is used to accomodate PCI memory mappings. The layout is regular memory, then PCI devices, APICs and flash, then any physical ram above remap_high goes over the 4Gig mark (for PAE).
yea, I read the sense of that remap_high variable backwards: I thought it meant "remap high memory to low" but it mean "remap low memory to high".
Very cool.
Anybody remember when 32 bits seemed like a lot of memory?
