Denis Tonn told me that the reserved memory (in OS/2 v2 and v3 GA) is
located from 448 MB to 512 MB in the virtual address space.

According to Denis that the reserved (protected) memory is doesn't exist
anymore in OS2 Warp 3 with recent fixpacks and also not in Warp 4 so all
OS/2 applications can use the memory between 448 MB and 512 MB.

Empty page? An memory page can be freed when it is allocated and this
memory is de-allocated (pointers to it destroyed and this memory marked as
free)?
