[RFC PATCH 02/11] powerpc/powernv: Remove real mode access limit for early allocations

Sat Jul 22 11:17:32 AEST 2017


This removes the RMA limit on powernv platform, which constrains
early allocations such as PACAs and stacks. There are still other
restrictions that must be followed, such as bolted SLB limits, but
real mode addressing has no constraints.
