What if the mapping is too big? Isn't the whole point of get_ram_size() that there is less RAM than we say there is? That is, if there's only 1GB of RAM, and we do this:
get_ram_size() will also detect a number of hardware problems list stuck / swapped / mirrored address lines etc. (actually a pretty large percentage of the real world hardware problems).
How about splitting out the testing bit into something that will just test a specified range, and report any errors, rather than quietly pretend you have less RAM if the test fails?
