Virtual memory layout
=====================
.. note::
- Some aspects of the virtual memory layout setup are not
clarified (number of page levels, alignment, DMA memory).
- Unused gaps in the virtual memory layout could be present
or not - depending on how partucular system is configured.
No page tables are created for the unused gaps.
- The virtual memory regions are tracked or untracked by KASAN
instrumentation, as well as the KASAN shadow memory itself is
created only when CONFIG_KASAN configuration option is enabled.
