I found that this memory was the AGP Aperture. I check my bios, and it was set
to 512 Mo. So I set it to 128 and my memory usage has decrease (see attachment
for details).

I have checked that this memory is seen by the kernel as used by creating a big
file in ram : 
dd if=dev/zero of =/var/tmp/portage/test bs=400M and it begins to swap.
(/var/tmp/portage/ is mount in tmpfs)
