Subject: [RFC 1/9] arm64: add kconfig symbol to enable 52-bit PA
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 11:57:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511265485-27163-2-git-send-email-kristina.martsenko@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1511265485-27163-1-git-send-email-kristina.martsenko@arm.com>

ARMv8.2 introduces support for 52-bit physical addresses if the 64k
granule is used. To enable this, add a new kconfig symbol to configure
the physical address space size, with 52-bit as one option. The symbols
will be used to enable 52-bit PA functionality in subsequent patches.
