[patch 1/3] Add BSS to resource tree

From: Bernhard Walle
Date: Tue Oct 16 2007 - 12:29:39 EST


This patch adds the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel
data are in the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid
crashkernel reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree
(the actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function
before), the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user
in /proc/iomem just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and
ia64).
