[PATCH] kexec/powerpc: fix exporting memory limit

2014-03-06 Thread Nikita Yushchenko
When preparing dump-capturing kernel, kexec userspace tool needs to know actual amount of memory used by the running kernel. This may differ from extire available DRAM for a couple of reasons. To address this issue, kdump kernel support code injects several attributes into device tree that are late
