memchunkhdr = a data structure describing chunks of memory allocated by the ARM11 kernel.
 
  
Here is some code describing the layout of a memory chunk header. TODO: If the reader happens to know anything about this barely documented topic, I hereby encourage them to clarify where this is actually used and how it ties into the rest of the kernel.
 
 
    struct MemoryChunkHeader {
 
        int num_pages; // size of this chunk in terms of small pages
 
        void* next;
 
        void* prev;
 
        int unk1;
 
        int unk2;
 
    };
 
 
The "next" and "prev" members are used to implement a linked-list. In fact, chances are this is actually a kernel object inherited from [[KLinkedList]].
