[PATCH 0/9] x86, boot, 64bit: Add support for loading ramdisk and bzImage high

2012-11-16 Thread Yinghai Lu
Now we have limit kdump reseved under 896M, because kexec has the limitation. and also bzImage need to stay under 4g. To make kexec/kdump could use range above 4g, we need to make bzImage and ramdisk could be loaded above 4g. During booting bzImage will be unpacked on same postion and stay high.
