linux-next: parsing mem=700M broken
From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Mon Dec 22 2008 - 22:05:34 EST
Hi Rusty,
I find that bootparam "mem=700M" isn't working in linux-next or mmotm,
and have bisected it down to your patch below; but now I'm off to bed
without working out just what goes wrong (I'll bet it's the "=").
Hugh
commit 5c886584a758edba7e25ad9df974cf15a4a1f59d
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Call early_param earlier.
We delete all the arch calls: we call it from start_kernel earlier
now. We also no longer take a temporary copy, but parse in place.
Note: IA64 needs to parse "machvec=" before other commandline options
but machvec_init_from_cmdline() needs efi_init() and io_port_init(),
so they are all moved into arch_get_boot_command_line().
