Default "Where's my RAM?!"

SetCPU and "RAM Usage" only show 408MB of total memory (I'm using ShadowFrost kernel).

Where is the rest? Is it just reserved for the system and the gpu and it's not visible to the user?

Yes that is correct, the remainder of the RAM is reserved/used by the Android system and i would imagine that some of that is also utilised by the GPU.

Your total ram usage should only show 400 Mb, but because of the modified kernel hack, you get the extra 8 Mb
