From 30a908607bd75f39b1c56f8a3c73bb7f5f19c8a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Schwinge Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 22:04:40 +0000 Subject: 2006-05-08 Thomas Schwinge * DEVELOPMENT: Document Samuel's patch. 2006-05-08 Samuel Thibault * i386/i386at/model_dep.c (mem_size_init): Limit memory to what can actually be used (minus a little extra for virtual mappings). * i386/intel/pmap.c (pmap_bootstrap): Extend the virtual mapping area according to memory size for at least being able to manage it. But look out for wrap and limit it to kernel adresses.
