 In XO-1 with Fedora 11 builds with 2.6.3x kernels only ~230MB of memory
 become available because apparently kernel debugging consumes too much
 memory.
 Is a know bug but is stagnated for a year now (
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487601 ).
 Understandably has a low priority since there are no F11 releases for the
 XO-1 and no deployments use it. However, I think with the builds maturing
 and deployments eager to use it, "losing" 10% of your limited memory with
 a more demanding OS version and desktop, is rather important.

 I know is "upstream" but apparently this stream is not going anywhere.
 Maybe some work can be done on this before an F11-XO1 release.
