Does Linux have plan to support memory hole remapping?

["Zhao Forrest" <forrest.zhao@gmail.com>]

Hi experts,

I ask this because I run kernel 2.6.25-rc8 on a x64 system with 32GB
physical memory, and kernel only use (32GB-512MB) physical memory. See
below related information:
E820 table:

As we can see from above information that the physical memory in system
is 32768MB(32GB). However OS is only using about
(32768-512)MB(MemTotal:     33010240 kB). Does this mean that this
linux kernel can't use the physical memory remapped
from (4G-512M, 4G) to (32G, 32G+512M)?

Thanks,
