    x86: move dma32_reserve_bootmem() after reserve_crashkernel() · 91467bdf
    Bernhard Walle 提交于
    On a x86-64 machine (nothing special I could encounter) I had the problem that
    crashkernel reservation with the usual "64M@16M" failed. While debugging that,
    I encountered that dma32_reserve_bootmem() reserves a memory region which is in
    that area.
    
    Because dma32_reserve_bootmem() does not rely on a specific offset but
    crashkernel does, it makes sense to move the dma32_reserve_bootmem()
    reservation down a bit. I tested that patch and it works without problems. I
    don't see any negative effects of that move, but maybe I oversaw something ...
    
    While we strictly don't need that patch in 2.6.27 because we have the
    automatic, dynamic offset detection, it makes sense to also include it here
    because:
    
      - it's easier to get it in -stable then,
      - many people are still used to the 'crashkernel=...@16M' syntax,
      - not everybody may be using a reloatable kernel.
