Subject: [PATCH] x86, calgary: use 8M TCE table size by default
Date: Fri,  7 Mar 2014 16:10:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1394179816-15435-1-git-send-email-chaowang@redhat.com> (raw)

kexec-tools wants to pass kdump kernel needed memmap via E820 directly,
instead of memmap=exactmap. That'll make saved_max_pfn totally useless.

Muli suggest to hard code TCE table size to max (8M) so that kdump
kernel could use this default size and kexec-tools doesn't need to pass
saved_max_pfn to kdump kernel in any way.
