Abstract
An approach for partitioning virtual memory address space and identifying relocatable and non-relocatable regions of memory is provided. In one embodiment, the allocations of physical addresses and kernel virtual memory addresses are partitioned into relocatable and non-relocatable regions such that, by inspecting a virtual address, the property of the physical memory (relocatable or non-relocatable) is identified.
