| |
From: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@mips.com>
A recent change ("MIPS: memblock: Discard bootmem initialization") removed the reservation of all memory below the kernel's _end symbol in bootmem. This makes the call to free_bootmem unnecessary, since the memory region is no longer marked reserved.
Additionally, ("MIPS: memblock: Print out kernel virtual mem layout") added a display of the kernel's virtual memory layout, so printing the relocation information at this point is redundant.
Remove this section of code.
