A bit in the shadow byte is set iff the corresponding bit of the +kernel memory. A bit in the shadow byte is set if the corresponding bit of the kernel memory byte is uninitialized. Marking the memory uninitialized (i.e. setting its shadow bytes to ``0xff``) is called poisoning, marking it initialized (setting the shadow bytes to ``0x00``) is called unpoisoning.
