-Subject: [PATCH] mem_section: Support only 46 bit for MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS on
- PPC64
-
-Related to change:
-http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2013-January/007849.html
-
-Linux on PPC64 has supported only 46 bit MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS since commit:
-048ee0993ec8360abb0b51bdf8f8721e9ed62ec4
-
-Also remove set_ppc64_max_physmem_bits and set info->max_physmem_bits in
-get_machdep_info_ppc64 instead. set_ppc64_max_physmem_bits is broken
-for all kernels compiled with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=n. makedumpfile is
-unable to get mem_section field from powerpc kernel since commit:
