Subject: [PATCH] memblock: add memblock_start_of_DRAM()
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2011 20:59:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110806185923.GA8494@merkur.ravnborg.org> (raw)
SPARC32 require access to the start address.
Add a new helper memblock_start_of_DRAM() to give
access to the address of the first memblock - which
contains the lowest address.
The ackward name was chosen to match the already present
memblock_end_of_DRAM().

Hi Tejun.
I have started to replace bootmem with memblock for sparc32.
This is so far the only general functionality missing.
But conversion is not finished yet - more may come.
This is on top of the memblock branch of your misc tree
