kernel employs a number of techniques to improve the use of large amounts
of memory, making Linux more enterprise-ready than ever before. This
article outlines a few of the more important changes, including reverse
mapping, the use of larger memory pages, storage of page-table entries in
high memory, and greater stability of the memory manager."
