Subject: [PATCH] Add comment about max_low_pfn/max_pfn
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2005 23:15:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1DL7Bu-0003CI-Pe@raistlin.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

Oddly, max_low_pfn/max_pfn end up being the number of pages
in the system, rather than the maximum PFN on ARM.  This
doesn't seem to cause any problems, so just add a note about
it.
