Subject: initrd: fix virtual/physical mix-up in overwrite test
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
On recent kernels, I get the following error when using an initrd:
| initrd overwritten (0x00b78000 < 0x07668000) - disabling it.
My Amiga 4000 has 12 MiB of RAM at physical address 0x07400000 (virtual
0x00000000).
The initrd is located at the end of RAM: 0x00b78000 - 0x00c00000 (virtual).
The overwrite test compares the (virtual) initrd location to the (physical)
first available memory location, which fails.
This patch converts initrd_start to a page frame number, so it can be safely
compared with min_low_pfn.
Before the introduction of discontiguous memory support on m68k
(12d810c1b8c2b913d48e629e2b5c01d105029839), min_low_pfn was just left
untouched by the m68k-specific code (zero, I guess), and everything worked
fine.
On several platforms, initrd_below_start_ok is set to 1:
| arch/mips/kernel/setup.c: initrd_below_start_ok = 1;
| arch/parisc/mm/init.c: initrd_below_start_ok = 1;
| arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c: initrd_below_start_ok = 1;
| arch/ppc/platforms/hdpu.c: initrd_below_start_ok = 1;
| arch/xtensa/kernel/setup.c: initrd_below_start_ok = 1;
