On my upgraded Mk2a player (32MB total), the player software seems to make use of at least a few MB of the extra memory for holding the database. But it does not use most of it yet -- need a newer alpha release (from peter or rob) for that to happen.

Suppose, hypothetically speaking, a new alpha release was in the works, and one of the target features was out-of-the-box support for bonus RAM. Rather than duplicating all the effort, it'd seem wise to use the mighty power of the GPL to add the relevant bits of Hijack back into the standard kernel (with full Mark Lord attribution of course). Would I be right in saying that the bonus RAM detection is localised in arch/arm/mm/mm-sa1100.c, include/asm-arm/sa-1100/memory.h, and arch/arm/kernel/setup.c? Or are there some other bits hiding somewhere I've not found? (head-armv.S seems to have been patched and then unpatched).
