[PATCHv2 2/2] arm: Adjust memory boundaries after reservations

From: Laura Abbott
Date: Thu Jan 05 2017 - 18:03:52 EST



adjust_lowmem_bounds is responsible for setting up the boundary for
lowmem/hihgmme. This needs to be setup before memblock reservations can
occur. At the time memblock reservations can occur, memory can also be
removed from the system. The lowmem/highmem boundary and end of memory
may be affected by this but it is currently not recalculated. On some
systems this may be harmless, on o thers this may result in incorrect
ranges being passed to the main memory allocator. Correct this by
recalculating the lowmem/highmem boundary after all reservations have
been made.
