Hi Jonathan
The comment says:
config VMSPLIT_3G_OPT
depends on !ARM_LPAE
bool "3G/1G user/kernel split (for full 1G low memory)"
So i'm thinking that means it should support up to 1G of RAM using
this split. It puts the split at 0xB0000000, so it is more like
2.75G/1.25G.
2G/2G would also work, but that is a bigger change. And i don't know
how many devices are being supported by this one kernel. It should be
possible to build one kernel which runs on all ARM v5 machines, not
just Marvell ARM v5 machines. This is the sort of change which will
affect them all. So i wanted to keep the change as small as possible.
