Description

It can wind up being the case that depending on application usages, there is a lot of memory "unused" (i.e. pages not yet allocated), and so memory meters display plenty of memory still available; but all that memory has been "reserved" by various areas and so the system may be dangerously close to OOM. The "vmstat" tool already displays how many pages are actually free (unreserved), we should just display this information somehow (probably as "Reserved memory" in ActivityMonitor, and as a more faded color in ProcessController.)
