[ros-kernel] memory manager

I hope you mean you want to run indent and commit the result as an independent change.

Subject: [ros-kernel] memory manager


While doing some mdl cleanup/fixes i got really annoyed about the memory manager describes physical pages using a
PHYSICAL_ADDRESS/LARGE_INTEGER containing the physical _address_ of a page, when all the info we really need is the 20bit page
_number_ which fits just fine into a ULONG. If noone objects i will change this and at the same time run indent on all files within
\mm.
 
And I have a few questions:
MmGetPhysicalAddress seem to return the _base_ physical address, regardless of the page offset of the virtual address passed to it.
I wonder if this is wrong?
 
Why do we have three MmGetPageEntry functions? (MmGetPageEntry, MmGetPageEntry1 and MmGetPageEntry2) And does anyone know the
difference between them?
 
More to come....
