Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ARM: Add default SPARSEMEM settings
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:22:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1410488562-21863-1-git-send-email-cernekee@gmail.com> (raw)

We can still override these settings via mach/memory.h, but let's provide
sensible defaults so that SPARSEMEM is available in the multiplatform
kernels.

Two platforms currently use SECTION_SIZE_BITS < 28, but are expected to
work with 28 (albeit slightly less efficiently if not all banks are
populated):

 - mach-rpc: uses 26 bits.  Based on mach/hardware.h it looks like this
   platform puts RAM@0x1000_0000 - 0x1fff_ffff, and I/O below
   0x1000_0000.

 - mach-sa1100: uses 27 bits.  mach/memory.h indicates that RAM occupies
   the entire range of 0xc000_0000 - 0xdfff_ffff.

Several platforms need MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS >= 36 so we'll pick that as the
minimum.  Anything higher and we'll fail the SECTIONS_WIDTH + NODES_WIDTH +
ZONES_WIDTH test in <linux/mm.h>.
