Log:
Fixed some bugs we introduced by incorrectly double-accounting the PFN database. The
database is *virtually* continous and follows the kernel address region, but not
physically -- physically, it is at the very far end of memory.
Unfortunately, fixing this bug now caused any unused memory in the  FreeLDR-mapped region
of 6MB to appear...well...unused. This would normally be a good thing, except ReactOS
started crashing.
We fixed it by applying the Glorious Hack. See freelist.c:359.
