I thought that limited the machine to using only 200MB of RAM. Free should
report 200MB of total RAM. Also, it should be "mem=200M", unless I am
mistaken. From the kernel docs:
mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] force use of a specific amount of
memory; to be used when the kernel is not able
to see the whole system memory or for test.

The 'Tainted: P' means...
The kernel believes that the module doesn't have a GPL compatable license.
Modules without a MODULE_LICENSE or with a MODULE_LICENSE that is not
recognised by insmod as GPL compatible are assumed to be proprietary.
