     @Rairii I wonder if it can be hacked for more RAM?

     @roytam1 I'm deliberately leaving IOS in place because I figured it'd be easier to talk to it for drivers.

     Please note that due to how the address space is set up, NT will tend to use Napa for the majority of kernel mode things (gets mapped to a BAT in kernel mode); although it's not reserved to kernel mode entirely, kernel mode PEs have to be loaded there, and some kernel mode structures like PCRs also have to be there (of course, osloader allocates as many as 32 PCRs, as many as possible).

     That said, the ARC firmware memory map sets up whatever RAM sizes IOS says, so running on an NDEV should expose the extra RAM there.

     I could add the IOS-used RAM to the memory map as unusable which would show it on the boot screen, but I decided not to bother.

     ...and I want to experiment with wii u related things later, including trying to run vWii IOS in cafe mode (to be able to reuse sdmmc/usb drivers there), and patching c2w to try and keep all 2GB of DDR usable...
