Subject: [PATCH 7/8] pseries: phyp dump: Tracking memory range freed.
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:07:24 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47965B0C.8000201@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4796401D.5010907@austin.ibm.com>


This patch tracks the size freed. For now it does a simple
rudimentary calculation of the ranges freed. The idea is
to keep it simple at the external shell script level and 
send in large chunks for now.
