[PATCH RFC] arm64/mm: handle memmap kernel option

Show all headers | View raw

When use device tree mode, user can reserve memory by changes the dts,
however, when boot with ACPI, user cannot reserve memory except by
changing the ACPI table in BIOS, which is not so convenient.

To make user reserve memory for some specific use more convenient,
this patch implement the following memmap variants:
 - memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]: mark specified memory as reserved;
 - memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]: force usage of a specific region of memory;
