x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time
Current "memmap=" only can take one entry every time. when we have more entries, we have to use memmap= for each of them. For pxe booting, we have command line length limitation, those extra "memmap=" would waste too much space. This patch make memmap= could take several entries one time, and those entries will be split with ',' Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1353123563-3103-47-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.
