Top of Memory (TOM)
This register reflects the total amount of populated physical 
memory. This is NOT necessarily the highest main memory address 
(holes may exist in main memory address map due to addresses 
allocated for memory mapped IO). These bits correspond to 
address bits 38:20 (1 MB granularity). Bits 19:0 are assumed to be 
0. All the bits in this register are locked in Intel TXT mode.
