[PATCH v2] ARM: mm: Align bank start to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES

From: Linus Walleij <hidden>
Date: 2011-09-29 08:36:10
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

From: Johan Palsson <redacted>

The VM subsystem assumes that there are valid memmap entries from
the bank start aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

On the Ux500 we have a lot of mem=N arguments on the commandline
triggering this bug several times over and causing kernel
oops messages.
