Subject: [PATCH v9 46/46] x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:47:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354139277-17376-47-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1354139277-17376-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org>

Current "memmap=" only can take one entry every time.
when we have more entries, we have to use memmap= for each of them.

For pxe booting, we have command line length limitation, those extra
"memmap=" would waste too much space.

This patch make memmap= could take several entries one time,
and those entries will be split with ','

-v2: add doc in kernel-parameters.txt according to Konard.
