Used to be defined in ./arch/mips/kernel/setup.c
It is no longer defined. I also noticed that badget is now using
vac_memory_upper.
Can anyone fill me in on the details.
Thanks,
Scott

It's no longer needed -- MIPS now uses the bootmem allocator cosistently
across system variations. Memory holes are now permitted. User may
override the determined memory map using a kernel command line (for
debugging, to isolate a faulty module, etc.). The add_memory_region()
function is used to register an area of memory.

This is a system-specific value to write into chipset registers. It's
not overriden by a kernel command line in any case to initialize the
chipset properly. I can't say anything more specific about it -- I'm not
a Baget expert.
