Subject[PATCH 1/2] Handle kernelcore= boot parameter in common code to avoid boot problem on IA64
Date

When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.

This patch patches uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter.
It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent
zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures
will ignore the boot parameter.

This effectively removes the following arch-specific patches;

ia64-specify-amount-of-kernel-memory-at-boot-time.patch
ppc-and-powerpc-specify-amount-of-kernel-memory-at-boot-time.patch
x86_64-specify-amount-of-kernel-memory-at-boot-time.patch
x86-specify-amount-of-kernel-memory-at-boot-time.patch
