What are your thoughts on these issues? Sounds orthogonal to me. You have to crawl before you walk. A better way to pass in the data would be nice, but can be always added on top (e.g. some EFI environment variable) For a first try a command line argument is quite appropiate and simple enough. A check for removing too much memory would be nice though, although it's just a choice between panicing early or later. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
