Subject[PATCH] Reserve Bootmem fix for booting nondefault location kernel
From
Date


This patch fixes a problem with reserving memory during boot up of a kernel
built for non-default location. Currently boot memory allocator reserves the
memory required by kernel image, boot allocaotor bitmap etc. It assumes that
kernel is loaded at 1MB (HIGH_MEMORY hard coded to 1024*1024). But kernel can
be built for non-default locatoin, hence existing hardcoding will lead to
reserving unnecessary memory. This patch fixes it.
