[PATCH] powerpc 8xx: Fixing memory init issue with CONFIG_PIN_TLB

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2013-10-11 12:56:46
Also in: linuxppc-dev

Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB allows access to the 24 first Mbytes of memory at
bootup instead of 8. It is needed for "big" kernels for instance when activating
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT. This needs to be taken into account in init_32 too,
otherwise memory allocation soon fails after startup.
