From 31bf111944e31b64a7b692f9d660f71c5ff3d419 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:03:24 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Fix large hash table allocation on Cell blades My recent hack to allocate the hash table under 1GB on cell was poorly tested, *cough*. It turns out on blades with large amounts of memory we fail to allocate the hash table at all. This is because RTAS has been instantiated just below 768MB, and 0-x MB are used by the kernel, leaving no areas that are both large enough and also naturally-aligned. For the cell IOMMU hack the page tables must be under 2GB, so use that as the limit instead. This has been tested on real hardware and boots happily.
