Hi Chao,

Can we take up the issue of passing reserved ranges to second kernel in
a separate patchset. I had noticed higher memory usage due to that and
it might have been something else.

It might be easier to handle one thing at a time. Let us first start
passing the memory range we pass on command line through bootparams and
once that gets merged and stablizes, write a patchset to start passing
reserved memory ranges if need be.

Thanks
Vivek
