You can't solve this through bootmem because x86-64 allocates memory in several places before bootmem (using functions in e820.c) Right now this is quite hackish with hard coded areas to avoid conflicts. But I recently had a need to allocate more memory that early too and changed the code to a generic early reservation interface. With that it would be relatively easy to reserve. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
