[PATCH 19/19] UML - Physical memory shouldn't include initial stack

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Fri Apr 25 2008 - 14:03:58 EST


The top of physical memory should be below the initial process stack,
not the top of the address space, at least for as long as the stack
isn't known to the kernel VM system and appropriately reserved.
