Subject: [PATCH] powerpc 8xx: Fixing memory init issue with CONFIG_PIN_TLB
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:56:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201310111256.r9BCuepM006243@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB allows access to the 24 first Mbytes of memory at
bootup instead of 8. It is needed for "big" kernels for instance when activating
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT. This needs to be taken into account in init_32 too,
otherwise memory allocation soon fails after startup.
