Subject: [PATCH 7/8] pseries: phyp dump: Tracking memory range freed.
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:20:04 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47B148A4.7000700@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <47B13D2E.1070001@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.
