powerpc: Check that TASK_SIZE does not overlap KERNEL_START
Make sure CONFIG_TASK_SIZE does not overlap CONFIG_KERNEL_START This could happen when overriding settings to get 1GB lowmem, and would lead to userland mysteriousely hanging. This setting is only used by PPC32. Signed-off-by: Rune Torgersen <runet@innovsys.com> Acked-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
