[PATCH 2/2] x86, e820 disable ACPI Memory Hotplug if memory mapping is specified by user [v2]

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Fri Jan 10 2014 - 14:05:52 EST


kdump uses memmap=exactmap and mem=X values to configure the memory
mapping for the kdump kernel. If memory is hotadded during the boot of
the kdump kernel it is possible that the page tables for the new memory
cause the kdump kernel to run out of memory.

Since the user has specified a specific mapping ACPI Memory Hotplug should be
disabled in this case.

[v2]: really add mem=
