From 6f284a2ce7b8bc49cb8455b1763357897a899abb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Franck Bui-Huu Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 09:44:05 +0100 Subject: [MIPS] FLATMEM: introduce PHYS_OFFSET. The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of unused entries in mem_map[]. This patch prevents this waste. It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical ones. Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0.
