[PATCH] powerpc: Fix assmption of end_of_DRAM() returns end address

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix assmption of end_of_DRAM() returns end address

[Bharat Bhushan]

memblock_end_of_DRAM() returns end_address + 1, not end address.
While some code assumes that it returns end address.

Shouldn't we instead fix it the other way around ? IE, make
memblock_end_of_DRAM() does what the name implies, which is to return
the last byte of DRAM, and fix the -other- callers not to make bad
assumptions ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Initially I also intended to do so. I initiated a email on linux-mm@  subje=
ct "memblock_end_of_DRAM()  return end address + 1" and the only response I=
 received from Andrea was:

"
It's normal that "end" means "first byte offset out of the range". End =3D =
not ok.
end =3D start+size.
This is true for vm_end too. So it's better to keep it that way.
My suggestion is to just fix point 1 below and audit the rest :)
"

Thanks

Oh well, I don't care enough to fight this battle in my current state so
unless Dave has more stamina than I have today, I'm ok with the patch.

Well it doesn't really matter in the end what is decided as long as
something is decided :). I was asked through a forward so I only
expressed my preference...

I'm definitely without the samina to fight something like this right now :)
