[PATCH 1/5] resources: add arch hook for preventing allocation in reserved areas

Bjorn Helgaas
2010-12-08T21:36:06Z

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it
needs to protect part of the address space from allocation.

Sometimes that can be done by just requesting a resource. This hook is to
cover cases where protected area doesn't fit well in the hierarchical
resource tree. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related
to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device
resource.
