Thanks, Ingo.

Agreed. I like Huang's follow up suggestion to that as well:

It seems to have better backward compatibility, as Huang states.

I'm tempted to name this kernel boot option "auxmemmap", since
I like having a little more specific name for this.

I will follow up with patches for these recommendations
of Peter and Huang.

Thanks, Peter and Huang, for the excellent feedback.
