    I feel like instead of doing this arch specific tracking here, we should
    simply report the total number of unaccepted (base) pages in the buddy.

    When the system boots up, the number will rise as unaccepted memory gets
    exposed to the buddy. But especially once user space is up and running,
    that number should only go down.

    Once it hits zero, there is no unaccepted memory left in the buddy and
    there won't be any performance surprises anymote -- and AFAIKT, that's
    what we really care about.
