Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Move the STAB0 location to 0x8000 to make room in low memory
Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:09:07 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299470947.8833.1035.camel@pasglop> (raw)
Recent linux-next builds with allmodconfig fail due to lack of space
between 0x3000 and 0x6000. We have a hard block at 0x7000 but we can
spare a page by moving the STAB0 from 0x6000 to 0x8000.

Seems to still boot on legacy iSeries...
