From ed7ed365172e27b0efe9d43cc962723c7193e34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:03:14 -0700 Subject: handle kernelcore=: generic This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86. Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation. From: Yasunori Goto When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64 because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled in an architecture-independent manner. This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will ignore the boot parameter.
