[PATCH v2 2/2] [powerpc] Export memory limit via device tree

2012-08-21 Thread Suzuki K. Poulose
The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem=' kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related information, unlike
