Subject: [PATCH] allocate GART/IOMMU aperture from any node
Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2007 12:14:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46128B84.3070303@amd.com> (raw)
Linux always tries to allocate the GART/IOMMU aperture from the
boot node memory. However, it is legal to boot with no memory
attached to the boot node, in which case the system crashes with
invalid memory assignments. Generalize the memory allocation to
support any node in the system with memory.
