The great thing about having all the source code is that if you can't
instantly find the answer to such a question just by searching code, it
takes no time at all to add a
printk ("num_physpages is now %lu\n", num_physpages);
to init.c to find out for yourself. :)
And if this turns out to be a real bug, do let us know...
