[PATCH] Always use 64 bit addresses for the firmware memory map

From: Bernhard Walle
Date: Wed Nov 12 2008 - 14:45:12 EST


I had a problem that on i386 without PAE enabled the firmware memory map was
wrong because a 64 bit address has been truncated:

0000000000000000-000000000009f400 (System RAM)
000000000009f400-00000000000a0000 (reserved)
00000000fec10000-00000000fec11000 (reserved)
00000000fec20000-00000000fec21000 (reserved)
00000000fee00000-00000000fee10000 (reserved)
00000000ff800000-0000000100000000 (reserved)
---> 0000000000000000-00000000fffff000 (System RAM) <---
00000000000f0000-0000000000100000 (reserved)
0000000000100000-00000000f57fa000 (System RAM)
00000000f57fa000-00000000f5800000 (ACPI Tables)
00000000fdc00000-00000000fdc01000 (reserved)
00000000fdc10000-00000000fdc11000 (reserved)
00000000fdc20000-00000000fdc21000 (reserved)
00000000fdc30000-00000000fdc31000 (reserved)
00000000fec00000-00000000fec01000 (reserved)

Just always using 64 bit is the most sane approach in my opinion.
