Struct MemoryKind 

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct MemoryKind(pub u64);

Boot ABI exports shared with kernel handoff. Memory region type identifier.

Used by the bootloader to communicate the memory map to the kernel. The kernel uses this to decide which regions can be used for the buddy allocator, which are reserved for hardware, etc.

Example

let regions = /* from KernelArgs */;
for region in regions {
    match region.kind {
        MemoryKind::Free => {
            // Add to buddy allocator
            buddy_init_region(region.base, region.size);
        }
        MemoryKind::Reserved => {
            // Skip — hardware MMIO (framebuffer, APIC, etc.)
        }
        MemoryKind::Reclaim => {
            // Bootloader code — can be freed after init
            reclaim_region(region.base, region.size);
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}

Implementations

impl MemoryKind

pub const Null: MemoryKind

Null/invalid region (should not appear in the memory map).

pub const Free: MemoryKind

Free usable memory — available for kernel allocation.

pub const Reclaim: MemoryKind

Bootloader-reclaimable memory — free after boot, before first use.

pub const Reserved: MemoryKind

Reserved memory — hardware MMIO, firmware, ACPI NVS, etc. Kernel must not allocate from these regions.
