Introduce userspace interface for Firmware-provided memory map
This patch (as request for comments) introduces a new userspace interface /proc/firmware_mem that provides the unfiltered view of the BIOS on memory configuration. That's usable for two reasons: 1) Debugging (yes, the E820 memory is printed in kernel ring buffer, but that's not the case for all platforms, on... 22 Jun 2008 16:17

[PATCH 2/3] Use /proc/firmware_mem for x86 (e820)
This patch copies the E820 map very early, before the kernel applies various operations. That copy is used later to register only the BIOS-provided E820 map later in the resource tree for /proc/firmware_mem.

[PATCH 1/3] Introduce /proc/firmware_mem
/proc/iomem contains mostly the view of the system about the memory resources. However, when using kexec, it's necessary to get also the firmware view, i.e. the original memory map the kernel got passed before applying command line options like exactmap or mem=<value>. kexec needs both views: a) When another ker... 20 Jun 2008 12:14
