Subject: [PATCH 2/3] MIPS: sgi-ip32: Reserve the firmware memory
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:45:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013094554.16804-3-kaloz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013094554.16804-1-kaloz@kernel.org>

ARC memory descriptors are ignored on IP32, so firmware data in low
memory ends up in the page allocator and CMA. Reserve it using the
generic ARC walk; RAM comes from CRIME, as ARC lists only the first
256 MiB.
