[PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORM

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORM

[Kumar Gala]

mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not
a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial
command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot
process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it.

Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.

Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORM

[Segher Boessenkool]

I can confirm this works on systems with "real" OF, too.  Furthermore,
the patch looks sane to me.

Why not make the mem= parsing an early_param() handler and then call 
parse_early_param() here?

And I think a switch would be easier to read for the K/M/G handling.

This would put constraints on the early_param()'s that I dont think  
we should impose.

I should probably use memparse() now that I've found it :)

All they should really be doing is parsing the string and setting some 
variables, so that seems reasonable to me. Is there anything in particular?

If you ever had to do some memory allocation as part of the parsing that 
might be an issue, since we haven't setup the LMB at that point.

Sure, but I think it's reasonable to say "don't allocate memory in an 
early_param handler", it is an _early_ param after all. But I guess we'll 
have to agree to disagree until someone else chimes in with an opinion :)

You may want to check out lib/cmdline.c's memparse() function.  I think
it does this for you.

Yeah, found it after I sent the patch.  Since Linus applied this  
version, I'll provide Paul a version that changes this code to use  
memparse for post 2.6.16.
