No, this is the correct mailing list for your question (or use
linux-mm@kvack.org).

First you obtain a listing of your computer's valid memory map,
either from Linux booting on it (maybe not so likely on your computer)
or maybe from BIOS SETUP.

With that information, you construct a kernel command line with multiple
memmap= options.
You can see an example of this here:

Hope that helps you.
