[PATCH 1/2] arm64: mem-model: add flatmem model for arm64

From: Chen Feng <hidden>
Date: 2016-04-05 08:28:17
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

We can reduce the memory allocated at mem-map
by flatmem.

currently, the default memory-model in arm64 is
sparse memory. The mem-map array is not freed in
this scene. If the physical address is too long,
it will reserved too much memory for the mem-map
array.
