[PATCH] powerpc: align memory_limit to 16MB in early_parse_mem

2024-03-01 Thread Joel Savitz
On 64-bit powerpc, usage of a non-16MB-aligned value for the mem= kernel cmdline parameter results in a system hang at boot. For example, using 'mem=4198400K' will always reproduce this issue. This patch fixes the problem by aligning any argument to mem= to 16MB corresponding with the large page
