[PATCH v4 02/19] ARM: LPAE: Fix early_pte_alloc() assumption about the Linux PTE

From: catalin.marinas@arm.com (Catalin Marinas)
Date: 2011-01-24 17:56:22
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

With LPAE we no longer have software bits in a separate Linux PTE and
the early_pte_alloc() function should pass PTE_HWTABLE_OFF +
PTE_HWTABLE_SIZE to early_alloc() to avoid allocating extra memory.
