Memory scanning under Linux

I am in the process of developing a memory scanning application under
Linux. What I need to know is what memory locations I need to scan? That
is, I want to scan memory that has been allocated for applications, not
for the kernel. Anybody know which addresses I should scan? In case that
matters, this would be for x86 and PPC.
