[PATCH 03/11] powerpc/nvram: nvram_create_partitions() now uses bytes

Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh at kernel.crashing.org
Mon Aug 2 10:55:14 EST 2010


This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes
rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally

The size passed is also the data size (ie. doesn't include the
header anymore).
