+ * available, in bytes.

+ * The offset is needed as the length of the total physical memory
+ * (len + highmem) includes the size of the memory used be the executable image,
+ * but the mapped-to address is the last address of the executable image
+ * (uml_reserved == end address of executable image).
+ *
+ * The memory mapped memory of the temporary file is used as backing memory
+ * of all user space processes/kernel tasks.
