Subject: [PATCH] export e820 table on x86
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 18:00:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DDC3E43.2080302@us.ibm.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 237 bytes --]
I stole a patch that Arjan did a while ago, and ported it up to 2.5:
http://www.kernelnewbies.org/kernels/rh80/SOURCES/linux-2.4.0-e820.patch
We need this so avoid making BIOS calls when using kexec.
