Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] 85xx/86xx: Ensure MP boot page is not used
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:23:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1238559808-25205-3-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1238559808-25205-2-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org>

We had a bug on 86xx in which the boot page used to bring up secondary
cores was being overwritten and used for the malloc region in u-boot.

We need to reserve the region of memory that the boot page is going to
be put at so nothing uses it.
