Hi-
I began by wanting to see "mem=exactmap" listed in
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt, and then it just
grew from there.
Change summary:
kernel-parameters.txt | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--------
1 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
. add IP_PNP kernel parameter category (was just "PNP")
. change occurrences of "ix86" to "IA-32" (not that I care,
but the file says that IA-32 is for i386 family stuff)
. [ARM only] change "keep_initrd" to "keepinitrd" as used in
source code
. add some missing kernel parameters
. add "mem=exactmap"
Patch is against 2.4.19, but 2.4.20-pre7 and same-ac don't
contain any changes to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
Comments or corrections before I ask Marcelo to apply it?
Thanks,
~Randy
