Hi Kumar,

mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not
a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial
command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot
process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it.

Why not make the mem= parsing an early_param() handler and then call 
parse_early_param() here?

And I think a switch would be easier to read for the K/M/G handling.

cheers
