[Patch] i386 bootioremap / kexec fix

From: keith mannthey
Date: Thu Sep 21 2006 - 23:00:04 EST



With CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START set to a non default values the i386
boot_ioremap code calculated its pte index wrong and users of
boot_ioremap have their areas incorrectly mapped (for me SRAT table not
mapped during early boot). This patch removes the addr < BOOT_PTE_PTRS
constraint.
