I am trying to find the pfns that belong to the kernel image in RAM.
It is a study project to learn the memory management of the linux
kernel, and perhaps suggest a few optimizations.
With min_low_pfn, I can claim that all pfns under it, belong to the
kernel image and hence cannot be used by others.

I have the pfns of other pools, like mapped, mlocked, etc.
