A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed for increasing the physical
memory size accessible to a processor, at least in part, by reclaiming
physical address space typically associated with addresses of a
restricted linear address space (i.e., addresses that are otherwise
unusable by the processor as system memory). In one embodiment, an
exemplary memory controller redirects a linear address associated with a
range of addresses to access a reclaimed memory hole. The memory
controller includes an address translator configured to determine an
amount of restricted addresses and to establish a baseline address
identified as a first number being a first integer power of 2. The range
of addresses can be located at another address identified as a second
number being a second integer power of 2. As such, the address translator
translates the linear address into a translated address associated with
the reclaimed memory hole based on the baseline address.
