24 bytes per 'struct page_info' and 4 bytes per machine_to_phys array entry.
The former is allocated at start-of-day near the top of arch/x86/mm.c. The
array of page_info structs is pointed at by 'frame_table'.

The overheads on x86/64 are 40 bytes per 'struct page_info' and 8 bytes per
machine_to_phys array entry.
