[PATCH 1/1] powerpc: Add page coalescing support

Brian King brking at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Sat Apr 23 07:08:37 EST 2011


Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers
which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions.
Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely
pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions. This patch also
exports some page coalescing statistics available from firmware via
lparcfg.
