117 * Queries the amount of RAM that is currently locked down or in some other
118 * way made impossible to virtualize within reasonably short time.
119 *
120 * The purposes of this API is, when combined with RTSystemQueryTotalRam, to
121 * be able to determine an absolute max limit for how much fixed memory it is
122 * (theoretically) possible to allocate (or lock down).
123 *
124 * The kind memory covered by this function includes:
125 * - locked (wired) memory - like for instance RTR0MemObjLockUser
126 * and RTR0MemObjLockKernel makes,
127 * - kernel pools and heaps - like for instance the ring-0 variant
128 * of RTMemAlloc taps into,
129 * - fixed (not pageable) kernel allocations - like for instance
130 * all the RTR0MemObjAlloc* functions makes,
131 * - any similar memory that isn't easily swapped out, discarded,
132 * or flushed to disk.
133 *
134 * This works against the value returned by RTSystemQueryTotalRam, and
135 * the value reported by this function can never be larger than what a
136 * call to RTSystemQueryTotalRam returns.
137 *
138 * The short time term here is relative to swapping to disk like in
139 * RTSystemQueryTotalRam. This could mean that (part of) the dirty buffers
140 * in the dynamic I/O cache could be included in the total. If the dynamic
141 * I/O cache isn't likely to either flush buffers when the load increases
142 * and put them back into normal circulation, they should be included in
143 * the memory accounted for here.
144 *
145 * @retval VINF_SUCCESS and *pcb on success.
146 * @retval VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the information isn't available on the
147 * system in general. The caller must handle this scenario.
148 * @retval VERR_ACCESS_DENIED if the information isn't accessible to the
149 * caller.
150 *
151 * @param pcb Where to store the result (in bytes).
152 *
153 * @remarks This function could've been inverted and called
154 * RTSystemQueryAvailableRam, but that might give impression that
155 * it would be possible to allocate the amount of memory it
156 * indicates for a single purpose, something which would be very
157 * improbable on most systems.
158 *
159 * @remarks We might have to add another output parameter to this function
160 * that indicates if some of the memory kinds listed above cannot
161 * be accounted for on the system and therefore is not include in
162 * the returned amount.
