From: Alexander van Heukelum Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2008 16:09:12 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86: reserve end-of-conventional-memory to 1MB on 32-bit X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1154^2~497 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dedd04be71cea3d5adb14c8f674e801911c89a2f;p=linux-2.6 x86: reserve end-of-conventional-memory to 1MB on 32-bit This patch adds explicit detection of the EBDA and reservation of the rom and adapter address space 0xa0000-0x100000 to the i386 kernels. Before this patch, the EBDA size was hardcoded as 4Kb. Also, the reservation of the adapter range was done by modifying the e820 map which is now not necessary any longer, and that code is removed from copy_e820_map. The amount of conventional memory and the start of the EBDA are detected by reading the BIOS data area directly. Paravirtual environments do not provide this area, so we bail out early in that case. They will just have to set up a correct memory map to start with.
