[PATCH 3/4] powerpc: scan device tree and save gigantic page locations

Jon Tollefson kniht at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Mar 27 08:27:56 EST 2008


The 16G huge pages have to be reserved in the HMC prior to boot.  The location of
the pages are placed in the device tree.  During very early boot these locations are
saved for use by hugetlbfs.
