[Patch 3/4] memblock: limit memory address from memblock

From: Yasuaki Ishimatsu
Date: Mon May 14 2012 - 07:58:22 EST


Setting kernelcore_max_pfn means all memory which is bigger than
the boot parameter is allocated as ZONE_MOVABLE. So memory which
is allocated by memblock also should be limited by the parameter.

The patch limits memory from memblock.
