From 1e3e19723ecd58149388f3eecbd3285825f64f3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 18:04:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: prepare page allocator for high allocations on PAGEALLOC=y To preserve the DMA pool in CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y kernels, we'll allocate pagetables from above the 16MB DMA limit, so we'll have to set up boot pagetables to cover 16MB more RAM (worst-case).
