[PATCH v2][POWERPC] Fix initial lmb add region with a non-zero base

2008-02-19 Thread Kumar Gala
If we add to an empty lmb region with a non-zero base we will not coalesce the number of regions down to one. This causes problems on ppc32 for the memory region as its assumed to only have one region. We can fix this easily by causing the initial add to replace the dummy region. Signed-off-by:
