Do you have a separate graphics card or [do you] have a builtin
graphics chip that's using shared memory? If it's the [latter], your
missing memory is being used for graphics.

It's unlikely that's the case, because 6M is a weird size for VRAM. If
it were 4M or 8M, that'd be more likely. Anyway, the dmesg dump showed
that kernel code and kernel reserved space accounted for the 6M
discrepancy.
