Memory problems with pre8-cvs-kernel

[Alexander.Schulz@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de (Alexander Schulz)]

Hello,

I found a problem in the pre8 kernel found in cvs on netwinder.org.

In arch/arm/setup.c bootmem_init is called which uses free_bootmem_core to
mark the existing memory.
Later, create_memmap_holes calls free_bootmem_core to mark all the holes in
Memory.

So after that, all memory is marked and put on the free-list by
free_all_bootmem. I can only believe this is a bug. For now it works if I
comment out create_memmap_holes from arch/arm/mm/init.c.

Cheers
   Alexander
