[PATCH] PPC: request a consistent memory layout (part II)

Mon May 22 01:49:30 PDT 2017


Using the memory test command will crash barebox, because it may tests the
area where the vector table is located for the PPC architecture.

On the e300 PPC core the vectors are programmable in their location.
This change checks the used location at run-time and requests the area
to prevent the memory test from overwriting it.
