[PATCH -mm 1/2 -v2] kexec/i386: kexec page table code clean up - add arch_kimage

Huang, Ying ying.huang at intel.com
Tue Jan 15 01:05:46 EST 2008


This patch add an architecture specific struct arch_kimage into struct
kimage. Three pointers to page table pages used by kexec are added to
struct arch_kimage. The page tables pages are dynamically allocated in
machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS segment. This
will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not loaded.
