: YES!  More integrated SMAP awareness is especially important as more 
: complex configs appear with different levels of reservation for upper 
: memory besides just "reserved" or "available".

However, the current SMAP definition is about useless since it doesn't
tell us directly what we need to know.  Well, it will give us an idea
of what we can exclude, but that still leaves a gap between 'all
that's excluded' and 'all that the host bridge passes'.
