[Fedora-ia64-list] [RFC] Change .config of dom0 for

[Akio Takebe]

Hi, Isaku and all

When I boot dom0 with dom0_mem=31G, dom0 use about 2GB memory after booting.
I check why dom0 use 2GB, then I found the following message at the boot time.

 Aperture:     64 megabytes
 Kernel range: 0xe0000000052b4000 - 0xe0000000092b4000
 Address size: 30 bits
Memory: 30649984k/32456704k available (10480k code, 1805472k reserved, 4361k 
data, 288k init) <------- !!!reserved 1.8GB!!!
McKinley Errata 9 workaround not needed; disabling it

So I check the rsvd_memory, but rsvd_region is no problem.
rsvd_region[0]=1480     (0xe000000000002228 - 0xe0000000000027f0)
rsvd_region[1]=96       (0xe000000001000000 - 0xe000000001000060)
rsvd_region[2]=18344456 (0xe000000004000000 - 0xe00000000517ea08)
rsvd_region[3]=16384    (0xe000000005180000 - 0xe000000005184000)
rsvd_region[4]=66       (0xe000000005180080 - 0xe0000000051800c2)
rsvd_region[5]=80       (0xe000000005180480 - 0xe0000000051804d0)
rsvd_region[6]=1305615  (0xe000000005184000 - 0xe0000000052c2c0f)
rsvd_region[7]=0        (0xffffffffffffffff - 0xffffffffffffffff)

Because Isaku's dom0 patches change dom0's memory map from contiguous memory 
to discontiguous memory, I change .config of dom0 like the below,
then I can get the following message and dom0 don't use 2GB.

Should we change .config of dom0?
Or should we fix other code?

I think we should change .confing,
I use CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM and CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP,
but we may use SPARSEMEM.
(I'll check SPARSEMEM soon.)

Please comment.
