"...but won't work if we're limiting the partition's memory to end at an unusual address." We have to live with PAMU's iova limitations. PAMU setup is user-controlled in general under Topaz. How's the hypervisor even going to know if the mem= kernel command line argument is used to change the end of main memory (assuming that's been taken into account by this point in the boot sequence)? What if the user put a shared memory region immediately after the main partition memory? -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
