7// The pmem.c and pmem.h files are part ot the GIET-VM nano kernel.
8// They define the data structures and functions used by the boot code
9// to allocate physical memory.
10///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
11// The physical address format is 40 bits, structured in five fields:
12//     | 4 | 4 |  11  |  9   |   12   |
13//     | X | Y | BPPI | SPPI | OFFSET |
14// - The (X,Y) fields define the cluster index
15// - The BPPI field is the Big Physical Page Index
16// - The SPPI field is the Small Physical Page Index
17// - The |X|Y|BPPI|SPPI| concatenation is the PPN (Physical Page Number)
18//
19// The physical memory allocation is statically done by the boot-loader.
20// As the physical memory can be distributed in all clusters, there is
21// one physical memory allocator in each cluster, and the allocation
22// state is defined by the boot_pmem_alloc[x][y] array (defined in the
23// boot.c file).
24// As the allocated physical memory is never released, the allocator structure
25// is very simple and is defined below in the pmem_alloc_t structure.
26// As the boot-loader is executed by one single processor, this structure
27// does not contain any lock protecting exclusive access.
28// Both small pages allocator and big pages allocators allocate a variable
29// number of CONTIGUOUS pages in the physical space.
30// The first big page in cluster[0][0] is reserved for identity mapping vsegs,
31// and is not allocated by the pmem allocator.
