Could you build this?

No Reclaiming hardware-reserved memory into active Linux kernel RAM requires low-level kernel driver engineering, memory management subsystem integration, and hardware-specific MMIO manipulation.

What it would actually take: A working system requires a custom C Linux kernel module (DKMS), integration with kernel memory hotplug mechanisms (such as add_memory/memblock), Secure Boot MOK local signing pipelines, and safe fallback hooks in early boot. The hardest part is safely releasing hardware-reserved display regions without causing kernel panics or display controller faults. This demands deep expertise in Linux kernel internals, device driver development, and platform memory architectures.
