+ *
+ * The purposes of this API is, when combined with RTSystemQueryTotalRam, to
+ * be able to determine an absolute max limit for how much fixed memory it is
+ * (theoretically) possible to allocate (or lock down).
+ *
+ * The kind memory covered by this function includes:
+ * - locked (wired) memory - like for instance RTR0MemObjLockUser
+ * and RTR0MemObjLockKernel makes,
+ * - kernel pools and heaps - like for instance the ring-0 variant
+ * of RTMemAlloc taps into,
+ * - fixed (not pageable) kernel allocations - like for instance
+ * all the RTR0MemObjAlloc* functions makes,
+ * - any similar memory that isn't easily swapped out, discarded,
+ * or flushed to disk.
+ *
+ * This works against the value returned by RTSystemQueryTotalRam, and
+ * the value reported by this function can never be larger than what a
+ * call to RTSystemQueryTotalRam returns.
+ *
+ * The short time term here is relative to swapping to disk like in
+ * RTSystemQueryTotalRam. This could mean that (part of) the dirty buffers
+ * in the dynamic I/O cache could be included in the total. If the dynamic
+ * I/O cache isn't likely to either flush buffers when the load increases
+ * and put them back into normal circulation, they should be included in
+ * the memory accounted for here.
+ *
+ * @retval VINF_SUCCESS and *pcb on success.
+ * @retval VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED if the information isn't available on the
+ * system in general. The caller must handle this scenario.
+ * @retval VERR_ACCESS_DENIED if the information isn't accessible to the
+ * caller.
+ *
+ * @param pcb Where to store the result (in bytes).
+ *
+ * @remarks This function could've been inverted and called
+ * RTSystemQueryAvailableRam, but that might give impression that
+ * it would be possible to allocate the amount of memory it
+ * indicates for a single purpose, something which would be very
+ * improbable on most systems.
+ *
+ * @remarks We might have to add another output parameter to this function
+ * that indicates if some of the memory kinds listed above cannot
+ * be accounted for on the system and therefore is not include in
+ * the returned amount.
