From: Miodrag Dinic <miodrag.di...@imgtec.com>
Implement support for parsing 'memmap' kernel command line parameter.
This patch covers parsing of the following two formats for 'memmap'
parameter values:
- nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
- nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
([KMG] = K M or G (kilo, mega, giga))
These two allowed formats for parameter value are already documented
in file kernel-parameters.txt in Documentation/admin-guide folder.
Some architectures already support them, but Mips did not prior to
this patch.
Excerpt from Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt:
memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
[KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory.
Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn.
memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
Mark specific memory as reserved.
Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
memmap=64K$0x18690000
or
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
There is no need to update this documentation file with respect to
this patch.
